10 days left

So here I am in Uganda, but at some nice hotel living the life Ugandins never even think about. I left Sabina two days ago with my mother to go on a Safari. We traveled 6 hours away to this National Park called Queen Elizabeth. Two words: Quite. Different. Running water, showers, delicious food, air conditioning, technology. Being here with my mom is a lot of fun and I'm glad we came, but I can't help but feel like I am wasting valuble time here in Uganda. My mom is leaving to fly back to New Yor tomorrow and wanted to go on this Safari before she left. We drove through the park and saw all types of magnificent animals. Elephants, lions, hippos, buffulo. These are all wild animals that live in this park. We leave this place within the hour to make our way to Kampala. That is where we will spend the night and my mom will fly out early the next morning along with the two people we were with from the states. Then back to Sabina for me! It was a nice break from Sabina and all the changes that were made in my life, but it will be nice to get back over there where I know I can be helpful.
When I arrive I will be on my own for a while. I think it will be nice and will help me grow up a lot. I will have my own room, and decide when and what I should do each day. The kids love to play games on the field, the fence needs its second coat of paint, and we are still gardening to do permiculture. My cow milking skills are growing each day. Sara, next time I go to PA with you we are going to Willy's farm where I will show HIM the four diamonds. When I get back please no one get annoyed if I speak Lugandin a lot. I don't want to forget it and its so much fun to say. Ha, ok the lady at this internet cafe just said "one minute left" so I'm gonna have to wrap it up. Thanks for reading, I am still missing you all and can't wait to see you the 29th. Be safe!
