On the boats and on the planes... I'm coming to America

Thank you Neil Diamond for describing the next 31 hours of my life so perfectly. . .

Nothing wild or exciting to update. Just trying to make the most out of the last few days here in Uganda. Most of the time has been spent hanging out with friends from Makerere and meeting with different folks to talk about potential long term projects.

I'm certainly going to miss this place. Here are a few things that I am going to miss.
- Having everyone yell mzungu (white person) as I walk down the street
- Riding on Boda Bodas. Bodas are dirtbike taxis that bring you to your destination
- Everything is cheap. It feels the entire country is Dollar General.
- Mango juice
- People. Some of the greatest human beings that I've ever met are in this country.

Here are a few things that I'm not going to miss.
- Having everyone yell mzungu (white person) as I walk down the street
- Dogs barking all night (definitely bringing a sniper rifle next time)
- Meat that lasts longer than a piece of Doublemint gum


Leaving is certainly bittersweet. I certainly think that I will come back sometime, but I am ready to get back to the US of A.

Once again, my time is short. I wish this was a more in-depth post. Perhaps a few wraps up posts are in order for the return.

Thanks for staying with me on this journey. See you in America.
