...arrived back home in Bundibugyo this evening, safe and sound. Just thought I'd post a few written snapshots of the trip home:
- 1st gas station attempt on leaving Kampala was in vain...gas station had no gas. who woulda thunk it.
- Petrol Feast = name of a gas station sighted on the way out of Kampala!
- Heidi groaning/heavy sighing throughout the FIRST hour of the trip as she dodges pot holes all over the place and tries to pass slow trucks without hitting oncoming traffic...the first hour outside of Kampala has the worst road of the whole trip. Bad paved roads are WAY worse than bad unpaved roads.
- almost hitting one cow who decided to meander across the road right in front of our vehicle traveling at about 100 km/hr...yikes...screeching halt and close call.
- newly downloaded christmas tunes on the ipod from Kampala to Fort
- people selling mangoes all along the Bundibugyo road...each one of them with one in their hand/mouth with juice running down their cheeks (we of course bought a big bag full)
- a solitary red tail monkey in a tree at dusk as we rounded one of the switchbacks on the mountain
- a couple clans of baboons hanging out along the side of the road as we slow down to chat with them a bit
- Nathan surprised to find Run DMC, "Angel" by Shaggy, and "Ice Ice Baby" on my ipod when he got control of the tunes selection from Fort to home (and us promptly rockin' along with each as he found them :)
More to follow soon I hope.

Makes me sorry I only saw an armadillo waddling down to the pond in Louisiana this year. I would love to see a monkey when I cam around a corner. Love ya.
