Germany Bound!

It is the night before I leave and I am packing for Germany and Africa.  I am so excited to travel to Germany with my good friend India and reunite with Ina.  Someone who I have not seen in five years.  It will be so beautiful to see her get married.  I am looking forward to the party that we are going to go to where everyone smashes plates and the bride and groom have to clean it up.   I will write more about that celebration.  Right now I am watching Harry Potter and trying to pack.  I am quite nervous for this trip, but at the same time very excited.  I can't believe that it has been a year since I have been to Africa and now I am going back to work with the same teacher and possibly the same students.  I couldn't have made the trip without the generous help of my friends and family.  I feel so grateful to everyone.  I can't wait to ride a bike, a moto (boda), watch the sun sets while drinking vodka out of a bag, singing at the top of our lungs, dancing with the children, and feeling the most free that I have ever felt in my life.  I can't wait to return to the kind hearted Ugandans that I have missed this past year.  I can't describe it.  I get goose bumps just thinking about it!  Uganda here I come!!!
