I am on my PCV visit in the green rolling hills of southwest Uganda, where the weather is much cooler and i can't understand the language! The volunteer i am visiting works in health education and she speaks the language very well and has been showing us her town and work areas. Most people know her and she seems to be getting along very well here. It is very encouraging to see a volunteer in action. Plus, we had a delicious Mexican dinner last night and my mind as well as my stomach are incredibly satisfied!
Today another volunteer took me to visit a primary teacher's college, which is also a place i may work, and we had just a quick tour of their campus since some dark and thundery weather was blowing in. We ran to our lunch spot, which was a convent and i had a very nice matooke and sweet potato lunch with the Sisters of Our Lady of Good Counsel. (!)
Since training keeps us very busy, it has been very nice to take it easy for a bit. We read under a mimosa tree yesterday and i had to smile to myself because it felt so good.
I will be traveling back to our training site tomorrow so goodbye peaceful SW Uganda!

Mexican dinner! A mimosa tree! the Sisters of Our Lady of Good Counsel! are you sure you are in Africa? Celeste, it was a nice gift to think of you sitting under, of all trees, a mimosa tree. You may have a mimosa tree to admire, not sit under, by the time you get home!
