Scott and I (Marisa) have arrived safely in Uganda after many hours of flying late last night. We are excited to pick up Noam later this evening and to get Valerie tomorrow and head to Ddegeya.
This morning we slept in to make up for the pains of traveling. We are staying at Red Chilli's hostel with many other travelers. Most of them got up early to go on trips so we had the place mostly to ourselves at breakfast. We shared the dining room with the resident dog and cat. Three years ago Shavi and I called the dog "Dug" after the dog in up, but I learned that his name is actually Nero. I think Dug suits him better.
After sleeping in we have been busy in Kampala running errands. We now have phones and can call people! We also met with Leone to discuss how we will meet with the Makerere students and get to Ddegeya tomorrow. We plan to hire a private car and pick up Valerie en route to Ddegeya. We also purchased mosquito nets and explored the supermarket, which is similar to Target.

Sounds like fun. You'll have to send pictures of dug and other things that you guys encounter.
