My formal coffee training has begun. I had no idea coffee can be so technical, so much information i feel like i should be in school. but it should all be worth it once i learn everything.
I have been stuck in the house for 3 days now and going a little crazy, so much to see but ugandans dont do anything on the weekends which kind of sucks but thats the way it is. right out side of my compound the poverty level is incredible, we take so much for granted and here people are content with sleeping in a 4 by 4 hut with no water, electricity or toilet, just make me thankful for all i have. make me really think of how much we have and how much we waste back in the states. I sit here with my labtop blogging, watching sportscenter on satellite on edmunds HD 50 inch TV, and writing my blog, there are people outside burning wood to make charcoal to sell so they can feed them selves. There is a huge gap between society here that is unbelievable.
I also learned today that Edmund wants me to drive, and he is giving me my own car/suv. now here if you drive your somebody, if you have a suv your really somebody... normally driving would not be an issue because i love to drive. But driving here is a whole different story. first of all they drive on the left, second there are no lights or rules and regulation, third the road conditions are horrific. they barely have paved roads and when they do, they are going so fast it is scary. so i am not looking forward to driving at all so it should be an experience. I have taken some photos that whom ever is reading this should look at. Edmund has so many people working for him it crazy, they wont let me do anything, for example he has a gardner, cook, 4 drivers, security guard at night, and treats them all with so much respect everyone loves him. I believe he has 2 blood kids and 6 adopted children, the youngest one is laura which is the first picture. but finally yesterday morning they let me cook my famous omlete.. now i am going to sleep.
this is all so interesting. I bet it is a really valuable experience. keep up the good work! sara
