A Trip to Kampala

Thought I'd update you on my trip to the big city, Kampala, last weekend. Much of it is very modern and classy but of course there are areas of squalid living conditions and smells etc. But it has many tall buildings and fancy buildings on 7 hills. I felt almost at home in America: shopping malls and restaurants and American named hotels.
I stayed at the Shearton because I wanted America quality with safety and comfort. Got it but was a bit pricey. Was in hot heaven with the bacon and belgian wafffles with whipped cream and syrup and the really best fresh squeezed OJ I have ever had. Coffee was strong but good.
Went to the Watoto Church on Sunday which has an AMerican pastor and the music is straight out of KSBJ. It was packed and we sat on hard benches for 2 hours but it was well worth it.
The American type articles in the mall are pretty expensive but all the young people in Kampala look like any American city kid. The mall had a New York Kitchen with pretty good pizza and cheese cake. Can you tell I have been anxious to get away from white glop food--rice, potatoes and pasta day in and day out at the Home. Speaking of the Ugandan teens, all that rap stuff is popular off site but thankfully our kids only listen to Christian contemporary music.
Got to see some interesting huge birds in Kampala and since back here saw my first cat in the yard. She/he was heading in the direction where I have seen rats in the past. Go get 'em, kitty!!
Malaria is slowing down for now because even though its rainy season, it hasn't been raining but a couple of times a week.
The clinic got its accreditation but the man at the HD can't find my paperwork. I'm not worrying. I'm still working and hopefully doing a pretty good job. Today I saw a child who needs a surgical referral but I haven't been to the hospitals here yet to see which one I trust him at.
Hope you all are fine. Wish I could see you soon but hopefully the time will fly by and I'll be home.
