problem with pictures

I tried but was unable to upload any images to the blog. I will continue to try but it may not be possible. :O( If that is the case I will just post a lot of pictures when I get home. But in the mean time I will just write out some blog entries because the blog is still the best way to keep in touch with everyone. I will have limited access to a computer while I am here so even when I do get a chance to use one I won't have much time. It's much easier for me to type up something that many people can read rather than writing tons of individual e-mails.

Well, as I'm sure you've figured out, I have made it to Uganda safely. The trip was super long but it went really smoothly. I am in Fort Portal now. I like it here so far. It is absolutely beautiful, but is also pretty poor. My house, the one I'm sharing with Lindsay and Cassie, is very small. It has two little rooms. There is no water or electricity, our "toilet" or "cho" is down a little hill behind our place. The shower room (it's really just a little closet type place with a door) is right next to the cho. The neighbors seem to be very nice and I'm looking forward to developing better relationships with them. The neighborhood children are really cute but they don't speak any English...oh wait, that's not true, they do know how to ask for sweets. ;O) All in all, it's bee a little overwhelming but in general it's pleasant. I still do not know what exactly I am supposed to be doing, I will fide out in the next few days. I will up-date you all again when I get the chance.
