Holiday Away


-The past week has been powerless for me. I spent the holiday weekend at Lake Saca, a Holy Cross formation house in Western Uganda, which does not have power, and when I returned to Jinja I was greeted by two days of no power.During my stay at Lake Saca I did some amazing swimming in what is probably the only body of water in Uganda that is not infested with crocodiles, hippos, or parasites.

-I spent Thanksgiving evening in the capital, Kampala. I had a nice dinner, but it did not quite have the same feel as turkey and stuffing. Although, when we arrived at Lake Saca where there is an American priest there was a Turkey and some pumpkin pie for a belated Thanksgiving feast.

-After blood, sweat, and tears, and two-and-a-half hours of serious heat from the oppressing sun, the Superboys came out on top of Turkey Bowl Uganda 2007 with an eight to seven defeat of the Young Guns.
