It really is crazy times here in Uganda.

We are buying a pet chicken at the market today. I have been campaigning for a turkey so we can slaughter it at Thanksgiving but some of my fellow vegetarians feel uncomfortable about that idea.

Laura and I spent last weekend in Kibale National Park. We stayed in a tree house overlooking a marsh. We were told that elephants often visited the tree house this time of year. What we weren't told was that we would be sharing the tree house with spiders as big as your hand and about 30 bats. It was good times but we did see an elephants and lots of monkeys.

I should wrap this up and attend a meeting. I will leave you with one final thought… Halloween in Uganda is just like the US. Think Japanese food, Psycho on mute, and 50 Cent. Scary.
