After two amazing weeks in Rwanda with my team from Bethany, I ventured off on my own a few days ago and made my way to Jinja, Uganda. My journey started off in a tiny little airplane so small that it was powered by propellers, which sent me into a full blown panic attack, yet I somehow managed to survive the journey. That followed by a short stay at a backpackers hostel that decided lining the floors with contact paper was a good idea. I then made the hour long journey to Kampala where I was planning on catching a taxi to Jinja. Instead I ended up crammed into a huge coaster bus with herds of people, though I somehow managed to bargain my way into paying even less than the locals, which I'm pretty sure was the first time in the history of Uganda for such a deal to happen.
Anyway, I arrived safely in Jinja and settled into a house with a couple other girls. I still have yet to figure out what i'll be doing here, but I've happily been visiting with dear friends and enjoying some of my favorite Ugandan treats.
More updates to come on my time in Rwanda after I've had a little more time to sit down and process....
