The American Club, Kampala

As wonderful as the first night was at the Central Inn, getting to spend the second night in Uganda at the American Club (A.R.A.) in Kampala was near life-saving.

Saturday morning we rode into Kampala with Lori to help her do shopping -- Kampala is where you go for serious groceries. The traffic was really heavy, even for someone from Houston. It seemed that everyone in Uganda that had a car was on our road in Kampala. We made it to one shopping area where Lori bought some groceries and we had Cokes and tea. And we ran into the Naramores and Amy's parents at the store. Both Eloise and Sara were struggling with car sickness, and Lori hadn't even gotten started on her list. Thankfully Lori decided that we should go to the American Club and get an air conditioned day room which quickly turned into a room for the night. Lori and David then took off to do the rest of their shopping, which took the rest of the day. Eloise, Sara, and I sacked out, and it was good.

We enjoyed a nice dinner, a good night's rest in spite of the bank party going on which included Karioke, and were in much better shape to make the four-hour plus drive to Mbarara on Sunday.
