good morning ... on the longest day ever. i woke up at around 4:00am, which is not uncommon, but instead of milling around and then going back to sleep, i spent the morning defending my life and my (guest)home against the biggest bugs i've ever seen. i don't know know where they came from but i'm sure they were baby pterodactyls. or small airplanes. whether it was all that running and jumping or the fumes from the israeli bug spray, i was unable to take my wake-up nap. and, being the witter that i am, i was pretty much packed and ready to go like two days ago. so today i'm just waiting until we head to the airport.
this entry closes the chapter on my african adventure ... at least this one. at least this blog. last night i went to all eleven cottages and said goodbyes and thank yous to all the children and mamas and aunties. overwhelming and peaceful. that's about the only way i can describe it. i wanted to "end" with some quotes from the amazing prayers of the kids ... but i changed my mind. i'm not ready. i want to keep those in my heart for now. i was truly blessed. weebale, uganda.
