something is happening

We have added another to the brotherhood here at the guys house; we picked bob up from the airport last night. Bryce, Kevin, tony the driver, and I all waited for bob to exit the magic doors at the airport. Welcome to Uganda. Driving back to kampala, bob mentioned how safe the driving and how wide the road looked. He had expected a 2 lane road. I just grinned and waited cuz we hadn’t left the airport area yet. Hey look, 2 lane road...and we’re passing. Bob just said oh. Sadly my blog has not completely prepared him for Uganda. The evening still overwhelmed him. no, there aren’t any heaters in Uganda. No, the police don’t have radar traps. We will introduce him soon enough to life here.

We went out for dinner at the Chinese hotel Fang Fang. It turned out to be not creepy and the food tasted like actual Chinese. So we drank bad African beer to bob’s coming. Bryce told most of the stories, some I haven’t heard. He has some crazy stories. I haven’t laughed that much since I got here. oh, and bob brought care packages. yay.

Also, a container containing ferry parts has left Mombasa. It will still take a week or so to get here, but its something. We hope the others will soon follow. I guess I have forgotten to mention that the railroads here do not work. Too many squatters and other things sitting around and on the tracks. So our containers must come by semi-truck over African roads. Im so glad that is not my job.
