Unwinding
It’s about 11:20pm central time. Craig called and the team was finishing breakfast. I was able to talk to a couple of them. They all sounded like they had gotten a good nights rest and were ready to come home.
An addition to the note I wrote earlier about team members not giving any comments on their day…Jennifer said she would be so tired in the evening she would go to bed right after dinner and not stay for the get together after dinner when they all sit around and talk about the day. So I’m assuming that is probably the case for several of them.
One thing Jennifer wanted to add was teaching the kids the song Father Abraham. The kids repeated the words and afterwards the translator told the kids what it meant. Jennifer said it was really neat.
Roy said he had a cold shower that actually had good water pressure. I asked about having hot water and he said after ridiing in the van all day after the gorilla trek he was glad to have cold water. Also this ranked in the top ten of all the showers he’s taken.
One last thing, on the trip from Mbale to Kampala Craig was in the van with all girls. Poor Craig. He gave them some little speakers for the ipod and the girls were singing and I think he used the words getting down. He took some video, can’t wait to see that. I wonder what the driver thought of them.
Hope you all had a good night. More tomorrow…………..
