Nile River and pit latrines :)

Hey!! Well it finally feels like I’m in Africa!! We finally got out of the city today and went to another area called Jinja. We went to see the source of the Nile which was just surreal to think that I was there and touched the famous Nile River. The same river that baby Moses floated on (haha), that the explorers came down on, etc. Then during our last orientation session, we were just sitting outside listening to more and more repetitive information (haha) and guess what we saw in the trees?! There were little monkeys swinging in the trees and eating bananas. They were just chilling and it was no biggy to the locals of course. I was of course freaking out to see the lil monkeys swinging in the trees. I finally felt like I was in Africa! We also went to a waterfall and it was beautiful. It was not large at all but it was still pretty. And the other TIA (this is Africa) moment was definelt the pit latrine. They had the place all nice looking and it was tiled nicely and all but surprise…it was a hole in the ground with tile around it! Haha!! TIA!!!
But I’m def excited for my home stay family!! I have 6 siblings of all ages. I moved in last night with them and it went well. I have my own room and cant really complain. Of course, its different considering that I have a pit latrine in the backyard and took baths in a basin but its def wahat I signed up for! :-)
My family has hosted 9 other students so to say the least they have made my transition pretty good. Sadly, all the kids in the house that I am befriending are leaving for boarding school (which is pretty common here even among the lower classes). They are leaving tomorrow and Wed so then we’ll see how the dynamics change after its just me, the parents and the babies. But my homestay dad brought me 2 school this morn and now my next adventure will be making it home today, but Ill let you know how that goes.
But the food is still going great, havent gotten sick yet!! :-) Its crazy 2 have such fresh foods!! Ill prob get sicker coming back home after having fresh meats and fruits everyday! But thats the short of it now and check in again l8r this week for an update.
Love yous guys and and keep me in your prayers!!
