Let's see - what are you missing while away from DC this summer: hot, sweaty air; forecasted thunderstorms that materialize only when you have plans - and well, me! I love the pics that you sent - Muzunga. That's my nickname for you now. I am undoubtedly spelling it incorrectly, but I think we'll stick with this interpretation. Alrighty lady - make the most and best of your time in Uganda and come back with lots of fabulous stories for us to share over dinner w/ Sadie and Zoe. Lurve, Sarah Found your blog!!!

Although we haven't seen as much of eachother this past "school year", you have always been in my thoughts. I had hoped to see more of you this summer, but alas you have found greener pastures (are there pastures in Uganda?) in Africa, and NYC must wait. Hopefully, you will visit soon --- I have some more goodies for your dorm room ;) I still can't believe you are going to Africa! If you should come across some rough patches while in this foreign land far far away, remember that you have a grand network of friends and family who are cheering you on -- and we are only a phone call away. I know this will be a great experience -- one that you will take so much away from. I can't wait to live the experience vicariously through your blog! Love always -- Daughter Hello “Mother” -

Does that make sense? Anyway, the one thing she wished she had more of was dressier clothing. Apparently the African folks dress nicely. Skirts etc.( women of course) She had mostly pants which she ended up wearing at home and just recycled the few skirts she had over and over. Don't know if that helps. Also, no $100 bills dated before 2000 they won't cash them. Too easy to counterfeit apparently. Have fun. Enjoy your stay.
