Adventures of Dwee: East Africa Part Deux: Pix!

The internet here at the Speke is waay too finicky so I didn't want to risk ruining my last post... just decided to upload a few of the pictures that I took over the week. One of the fellows from Namibia was kind enough to lend me his laptop so I could transfer the photos from my SD card to my USB stick-- stupid macs don't have those fancy ports.

Conference finished up today around 3pm. I learned a lot, networked a bit, and also just bummed around and enjoyed the lovely weather and view at the hotel. Somehow though, being by myself in a hotel for a week has made me incredibly homesick. I don't think I would do well as a traveling salesman... which I guess isn't a problem since I won't be... :) Not looking forward to going back to triple digit dusty heat in Abuja, but I only have to hold out just a bit longer... counting down the days!

And without further ado, pix! It's too bad I didn't have my camera this morning, because there were MONKEYS on the hotel lawn. O_O

Dr. Bruce Agins, the Medical Director of HEALTHQUAL, opening the start of the conference on Monday.

I don't really know why they have an old coach in front of the hotel... fun nonetheless.

Breakfast view every morning! Loverlies :)

Pretty awesome wall mural in the Speke Hotel lobby.

On the one-lane road from Speke to Kampala. I still can't get over how red the dirt is here in Africa.

Plantains for matoke! I learned after chatting with the hotel restaurant hostess today that matoke is generally just eaten in Kampala... they eat other starch dishes, just depends on what tribe you're from.

Sunset view as we headed into the city on Monday night.

Maybe it's my skewed sense of direction, but this clock tower seemed like the main roundabout linking the smaller suburbs with the main entrance to Kampala... correct me if I'm wrong?
