Last Tuesday (yes, I'm still consistently a week behind with the blog), we packed up our belongings from our hotel in Kampala for the four hour drive to our home for the summer: the town of Kalisizo, Rakai district, in southern Uganda.
Four hours means lots of time to practice my taking-pictures-out-the-car-window skills.
Which means that you lucky people reading this blog get to experience even more of my awesomely blurry/crooked/creeper-ish photography attempts...
.
Seriously, though, every time I look at these pictures I notice some new interesting detail or thing happening in the background.
We stopped at the equator to be tourists.

Don't judge us. Have you ever high-fived across hemispheres?

Everything is bigger at the equator? Or at least cockroaches are.
This truck was like the Non-Environmentally Friendly Little Engine that Could. Crawling uphill slowly but steadily while spewing ridiculous clouds of black smoke... at least we got to read this inspirational mudflap the whole time, which did seem kind of appropriate.

And we made it! Here we are in front of Twin House, one of the guest houses of the Rakai Health Sciences Program and our new home. As you can see, it's really nice. There are two wings - each has four bedrooms, and one contains the kitchen and dining room while the other has a large common area.
My room!
Upon arrival we met Teo, who is best described as a housekeeper/house mom. She basically runs the house, doing the cooking, cleaning, laundry - yes, I am being totally spoiled and lazy. I just want to point out in this photo that the bed had been made perfectly before I rolled on it to test it out. Very comfortable, mosquito net and all.
More to come soon on Kalisizo and the wonderful people at RHSP!
