Uganda. What a beautiful country. On the flight from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, my nap was broken by glimpses of semi-arid regions, savannahs with forested riverbanks (sadly, I did not spot any elephants or giraffes – I tried really hard), and burnt red earth juxtaposed by lush green hills. We landed and I had to put my scarf back on because it was wet and cool. It reminded me of a rainy summer day in Vancouver.
My first impressions of this new country I am to call home (for the next several months, anyway)…
