| October 20, 2013 It is October. A time of leaves changing color, apple cider, hay rides, carving pumpkins. Here we are in the jungles of eastern Uganda. Here a walk in the forest (something I love to do), is a less pleasant experience that involves trudging through knee-high mud at times, tall grass, and prickly plants with the hopes of seeing a horned chameleon or a chimpanzee (if you're lucky). We had a great time and necessary diversion. We spent our time between Rwenzori National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, and Kampala for some necessary errands.  |

| Buying 50kg of local coffee beans in the Rwenzoris... this is farming cooperative for fair pricing and representation of farmers. They don't normally sell to locals (or white folks).  Buying local charcoal This really is a beautiful part of the world. I am so thankful to have this opportunity to explore it!
Thanks for your interest in our lives.
Blessings of Jesus from our house to yours,

It is nice to be back in Nyankunde again!
