February 5/Chapter 16 The Last Day
It’s 12:20pm, weird, that’s 12 hours from the last post. The Amsterdam group has left Uganda. I’ll let you know when they get there. The rest of the group is at the airport and will be leaving in less that 2 hours.
A couple of things to share. This is going to be funny in the end but Diana was not laughing at first. They were on their way to the restuarant for lunch. Nobody knew there was a stork overhead. Diana just happen to be the one that walked right under it and it lets loose. Right on her hair and shirt. She’s was screaming and some near by Ugandans were laughing. She was able to go wash her hair and clean her shirt. I would imagine she changed once she got her luggage. (These are trash eating storks not the nice ones we think of. Not that it makes any difference, just wanted to let you know.)
Lunch today was at a place called Sam’s Club, of all names. It’s Indian food and was very good. They ate things like wildebeest steak and alligator tail.
A couple things from when they were still having clinics etc. Karen’s daughter Erin wasn’t feeling well one day while they were at clinic. She got a lot of stickers on her skirt so she kneeled down to take them out. A little girl came over and helped her take all the stickers. Kids are so sweet.
The father of one of the babies that was born wanted to name his child Joshua but the next day they told him that the mom changed it to Fred. There had been a little boy in the village named Fred that had died. Perhaps their child was named after him. Then the other one was named Craig Daniel. Well the Ugandan people put the last name first so the child is really named after a movie star, Daniel Craig. (Just kidding about being named after the movie star)
Instead of going to Lake Victoria the remainder of the team went to a resort that is near by. There was internet service, all sorts of things to snack on. They just sat around and chilled out and talked about their trip.
I’ll let you know when everyone gets to Amsterdam. Until then……………..
