Jetlag had us up very early, but the sunrise over Kampala is a sight worth getting up for anyway. After breakfast, we packed up the car and headed to Lira in northern Uganda. It took seven hours of dodging in and out of city traffic and cruising along long stretches of rural roads, past sugarcane, tea, and corn growing, past Lake Victoria, through traditional villages, giant buses filled to the brim with people going to South Sudan and Kenya, past schoolyards filled with children in matching colored shirts and women selling produce and finally into Lira.
We met with Jane and Sam, our partners on the Honey Farmer Project to catch up on the project and to just say hello, but we are sincerely tired, so it was pretty brief. Tomorrow morning we start bright and early when we shall meet with a potential new partner and spend the afternoon visiting a few of the honey farmers. Stay tuned, I think it will be a good day tomorrow…
