Well we're here in Kampala Uganda and doing well. Carloyn Wade is a wonderful person and host & is helping us adapt.
The Mother Temple of Africa is beautiful, the grounds are very well cared for. Africa has a beauty of its own, there is something very special about Africa that I have a difficult time trying to put into words. But I will work on that and make an attempt, in the future, along with trying to post photos.
We are learning to adjust to the limited availability of the internet along with electricity, hot water, learning to enjoy cold showers. The food here is very different but very good. I'm going to attempt to learn how to make a very delicious flat bread that they make.
Our first project is to fix up Grace's cottage so the new secretary from the U.S. can live in it. So we're starting with the roof and working down, the electricity has been completed and the plumbing is in progress by a local.
Uploading photos take a very very long time. We will all have to learn a wee bit of patience with the photos, that will be updated, especially me.
I will update this blog as often as I can so please be patient.

This is the Bahá'í House of Worship in Kampala, Uganda, it sits on top of a hill overlooking the cities that surround it. It is truly a beautiful place and very peaceful . It took an hour to down load this photo, so there may not be many photos of Africa till we get a faster connection.
I tried resizing the photo but it still took an hour. I tried cut and paste and that doesn't work to well either.

We've finished replacing the ridges on the roof of Grace's cottage, we will be checking to see if that took care of the all the leaks in the roof.
Next is replacing the tiles in the Shower after the plumbing is completed by John-Bosco. we have removed all the tiles so far, the tiles we removed will be used in the kitchen counter and the wall.
One thing you learn real quick is that nothing is wasted if you can reuse something you do as, like everywhere else in the world the prices are rising for everything everyday.
