I arrived in Kampala yesterday afternoon after an 8 to 10 hour bus ride. It really wasn't such a bad trip. Its been pretty rainy since I arrived though...it seems like it has more of a Northwest USA drizzle type of rain here compared to the tropical downpour in Kigali. I preferred the downpour because it usually ended within an hour. Now that I'm here I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I thought I would have my next volunteer stint lined up by now, but I don't. I hope to hear something by later today or tomorrow at the latest. In the mean time I'll try to get a safari in at Murchison Falls National Park.
My trip to Lake Kivu was a memorable one. The bus ride there was pretty crazy...maybe I'll write something about that later. The lake itself was amazing...I think it could be described as paradise as far as the natural beauty. I manly just hung out lake side drinking orange Fanta and ready a novel. The trip home was a bit of on adventure as well. I'm unable to post pictures this time around so I'll try to get another post with more details and some pictures.
My brothers have been encouraging me to grow a maystache for the month of May. I think that they will be happy to know that I have begun the process of growing the maystache and will be a proud representative of the East African Maystache in a few short weeks. Stay tuned for more maystache news and updates.

It would be sweet if the Maystache became a Junestache as well. Possibly even a summerstache. Just a thought...

Hey!!! I'm glad to read your humoring your bros with a Maystache! Ha! It would be fun to get a pic of the 3 "stache bros" together :)

Hi Phil, I really enjoy reading about your adventures too. How about that foo foo?
You know Aunt Janet and food!
I have never really thought about going to Africa but I am rethinking it.
I can't wait to talk to you in person. Love A. Janet
i think every dude has to go through Maystach, Mustach March, whiskerino, etc... just do and get it out of your system before you get married, please. :)
