Monday April 11, 2011

We started out early in the day to begin the long journey to Ibanda. We stopped at the Equator along the way and took a picture to show our kiddos that mom and dad stood on the equator...cause how many times in your life can you say that you stood on the equator!


Then we continued on until. We became very hungry and stopped for lunch at Agip Motel in Mbabara. While the food was good, it took a long time to get served which made us even more late than we would have liked.

We stopped at a local market when we finally reached Ibanda to buy some rice, beans, potatoes, vegetables and bananas. When we arrived at the baby home around 6pm some children were out front playing and came running to the car to greet us. We played with these kiddos for a little while and then we were led to the backyard where more children were playing. They were all very cute. Brock and our driver brought the kids out front to distribute all the toys. I came back outside to many smiling children playing with jump ropes and balls. The caregivers were also excited about all the toys. And they all had a blast seeing their image on the screen of our camera! They kept pointing to each image and saying the names of their friends as they giggled. It was so adorable!

It was a good day, minus the headache I had been fighting all day, but a good productive day. We traveled back to Agip Motel for the night, had some dinner and then a nice hot shower to remove the insane amounts of red dust from our hair and skin. Now it is time to collapse in bed and rest up for the journey back to Kampala in the morning.

Some pics of Agip Motel...
