This is the year.

We left the northern region of Uganda for good on Friday. We’d already had to say many goodbyes throughout the past few weeks to our friends across the region, and now it was time to leave Gulu. The hardest part was when people would ask, “so, when are you coming back?”. Many expect that its not difficult for a “muzungu” to fly themselves across the world, and therefore don’t expect the response “when I get a job, and have enough money to do it all again”. Reaching Kampala, we realized how much we had come to like living in a smaller town and spending so much time in the villages. Kampala is loud, incredibly busy, and expensive. However, it was nice to catch up with some of the people we’d met throughout our trip! The last week has been a bit of a floury of traveling. We left Gulu Friday July 29th for Kampala. On Sunday, we packed up again and left on a 12 hour bus to Rwanda. And now I’m on a 40 hour flight/transit back to Canada. But as always, the traveling was always worth it.
