This post is especially for all you IC TEX people. The road from Kampala to Gulu is completely paved, but not only paved, but good drainage ditches on both sides. The main roads in Gulu are also mostly paved. From town to Sacred Heart, out to Keyo, but not to Sir Samuel Baker. Yesterday we went to Lacekocot and they were building the road as we arrived. Isaac the road was better on the way home and we made it in 46 minutes! A lot of the roads in town, now also have covered sewer trenches and they are working on more. Uchumi is out of business across Uganda, but the brand new market is complete. Sankofa is in the same place, but is now called Elefante. The old Kope Cafe is now called Iron Donkey and another munu hangout. Their garlic bread with their Spaghetti and Meatballs is as good as any in the states. Heinz 57 is everywhere and I have not seen a bottle of Top Up. I am probably coming back again next year anyone else?
Today Hayley and I went to St. Jude's, we talked to a couple of new people in charge and there are several brand new buildings. Since we arrived unannounced, we did not get a chance to play with the kids. We decided to respect what they were trying to do. They did allow us to go to the Chapel. I prayed for Samuel and all the kids of St. Jude . I prayed that maybe the need for a St. Jude will be eliminated in the future. They are now making their own crafts and hope to open a craft store on their compound soon.
Kwo pi naka naka,
