Touchdown Uganda, the Pearl of Africa

Here I am, hanging out with the amazing Gordon family, at their new home in Entebbe.   My time has been spent mixing home school teaching with interior wall painting, digging gardens, sightseeing at the zoo and botanical gardens and surrounding area, a visit to the local market, and a couple of trips to visit projects in the area.  It hasn’t been as hot here as I thought it would be, so is a welcome change from the heat of Europe and South East Asia.  A good 4 hours of rain made the flower garden preparation for the girls so much easier to dig, with the soil here red clay- hard and dusty when dry, heavy and sticky when wet.  Still wet was the better option, I could put the pick away!
