September 16

Had the most eventful day yesterday. Took a trip into town to meet up with my friend Nicole, the only thing was that David had other plans for the car so I was on my own. I have taken long with out traveling by public transport and have forgotten how exciting and adventurous it is. Had to stand on the side of the road waiting for a taxi to come and then bargain the price that I am not getting over charged, then climbing into the back over other people just to sit down. Of course there was traffic jam, but not for this taxi. Our driver knows roads that are not even roads, but we went any way. I thought that we were 4 wheeling. I have not been jarred like that in a long time. Then upon reaching town I had to sit on a motor bike as time was over and I was late. I have forgotten the rush of zipping through town on the speed of a motor bike, going the wrong way on a one way street, weaving in between cars at lightening fast pace. Well not all of that is true, but it sure felt like it. But I reached safe and sound just in the time that I was meant to. Had a great lunch and after walked the street of Kampala. Something else that I have not done since we have had a car. It was a good reminder of how the city is, but I like having a car, even if it is a bit old. I think that it has been one of the best blessings. Thank you Jesus.
