Missing it.

Last night, I had a dream about Uganda. That's 3 nights in a row.
Gosh darn, I miss that place.
But lets be real, there are things I don't miss.


What I DO Miss About Uganda:

• The People - So friendly, loving, and passionate.
• The Heat - Ok, so it might be a bit on the warm side, but after this rain/flooding we've been having here in Oregon, I miss the sunshine.
• The Kids - I am so in love with the babies. They're so happy, and even though they live in poverty, they have no idea. They just love life. And hearing them yell "muzungu" (white person) as we drive by.. I miss that a lot.
• Uganda Fruit- Their fruit is SO much better... Pineapple, mango, papaya... Mmmmmm.
• African Food- Ever heard of Chapati? Its like an African tortilla.... But better than a tortilla. 
• The Nile- Being that close to something so historic.. It was exhilarating to be on the River Nile.

What I DON'T Miss About Uganda: 

• The Bugs - These suckers are MASSIVE. I have never seen a cockroach that size. No thanks.
• Mosquito Nets - Sleeping in a twin bed after having to tuck in a mosquito net and having it hang over you is no bueno. 
• The Bucket Shower- Call me spoiled, but this having to boil the water then mix with some cold and it has bugs floating in it and you have to use a pitcher and you don't have enough to wash everything, so you have to pick and choose.. 
• The Toilet- Some are simply holes, with flies living there... And my western toilet didn't flush because there wasn't running water most of the time. GROSS.
• The Roads- Driving several hours in the heat with no air conditioning or paved roads.. Yeah, not my definition of fun.
