On Parade

Africans are fascinated with foreigners. Everywhere we go, be it Adjumani, Rwanda, or even Kampala, people (the kids especially) come out of the woodwork to line the road and watch us pass by. Shouts of “how are you?” constantly follow us. Groups of kids come tearing out of the brush in order to catch a glimpse. They are constantly smiling and giggling, and when we smile back, wave, or respond, “I’m fine. How are you?” it makes their day. I feel like I’m famous or something. It’s rather fun.

Grand Master Kate,

You are famous girl; the word on the street is Kate The Great is in town. :]

We have been having lots of rain and 100 MPH winds on the coast, Vernonia is underwater and I-5 to Seattle has been closed for a week so far, underwater. It is now a 7-hour drive to Seattle via Yakima

Peace, Love & GOD's Happiness Stuff

Hi Kate! Your photos are great - I feel as tho I am experiencing some of this with you! The children are so beautiful - what a joy for you to have become a part of their lives. All that you are experiencing is incredible. The cockroach alone is just one amazing experience! (Ewe!) We are thinking of you and you are in my prayers ~
