My flights were great. I had enough frequent flier miles that I was able to fly Business class, which was fabulous! I got to stay in the Club World room between flights, take a shower, change clothes and sleep on the plane. It's the only way to fly long-hauls. Unfortunately, Sherie didn't have the same benefit on her flight.

Immediately upon arrival, I was met by Edward, the driver for the guesthouse Sherie stayed in last night. Sherie had a great room in Entebbe (white walls, mosquito net on a four-poster bed) and it was close enough for us to walk to the bontanical garden boarding Lake Victoria. We had a guided tour and saw banana, nutmeg, cacao, coffee and cinnamon trees, as well as many other species. We also saw two types of monkeys and too many birds to count. On our walk to the garden, we passed many men sitting astride their motorcycles in groups on street corners. These were the local "taxis." We talked to a few of them to get directions and they were most helpful even though we didn't want a ride.

We will be meeting with folks from Action for Children tomorrow morning. Tonight we get to sleep and get over jetlag.

The pictures posted are of termite hills (can you believe the size?) and of Sherie with Alex, our guide, in front of a cacao tree. Sherie was admiring a cacao pod, the giver of chocolate power.
