We’ve been in Kampala for two weeks, and feel like we’ve gotten to know our part of the city fairly well. We are confident crossing the street, negotiating boda fares, and navigating the slew of restaurants in town. Some fond memories to note, before we head off on the rest of the trip.

We ran eight rapids over 23km of the Nile: three class V, five class IV. I only fell out of the boat twice, and everyone had a good time.
We arrived in Kampala almost a week ago, and have spent our days acclimating to the environment and timezone, and preparing demos for the Uganda Radio Network and UNICEF Innovation Lab.
On our way back to Anchorage for our flight home, we took a slight detour on the Hope highway. It’s a small town of 192 people, but it used to be the largest in Alaska during a gold rush in 1896. We saw the town museum, took a tour led by the entire fifth grade class (one kid, Alex), and saw a sign of some latent liberal values.
