7 hour flight to amsterdam...8 hour flight to entebbe... 2 hour cramped bus ride with my legs out the window (because there was no room in the bus) to the school and it's home sweet home :)
things to love:
the smell of this country.
it's like a mix of burning wood, pineapple, rubber and hazy mint.
palm trees. everywhere.
a beautiful breeze and 70 degree weather :)
cement dorm floors that cool down the whole building
things to get used to:
being nominated dorm-plumber... because my room happened to be the one with a basin. so then i happened to be the one to figure out a way to flush the toilet. ta da.
no running water for showers.
one sink for teeth brushing, one for everything else, neither for drinking.
mosquito netting threatening to entangle me in my sleep.
bring it on.
Glad to know that you've arrived! Remember to look for God's amazing blessings to you everyday - and don't forget to say thanks too. Love You!
ReplyDeleteHi -- is there an extra "i" in infinity? The title of your blog. Thanks for checking -- love mom
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you made it there ok. Did you have plenty to eat and drink on the way? Michael and I miss you...our house seems so empty. Enjoy every second of this wonderful experience. We are praying for you. Love M&M
ReplyDeleteHi Allison,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update on your lengthy trip. I tried to send a comment last night to your blog but I don't think it made it. Glad to hear about your new "gift" in plumbing. May God show you amazing things to you today.
Love Aunt Laura
I did it!! I sent a comment to you and it didn't get lost over the Atlantic Ocean.
ReplyDeleteLove Aunt Laura (again)
Only a mother would correct the spelling of her daughter...half way around the world! Way to go Karen! Love you!
ReplyDeletejust don't thrash in your sleep love.
ReplyDeletethe mosquito net will be fine.
and to avoid being the plumber just ask...
"are you poooopin'?"
they'll figure out how to flush it on their own. ;)
miss you.
Good day kiddo! Anxiously awaiting an update! I know that you are busy figuring out the whole school and class thing, or exploring a whole new world. Remember to respect the boundaries that they give you - don't make me come over there and bring you home!
