Andrew's Journal Day 14

       Today we woke up early and had breakfast at the hotel so we could get back to Bududa before it was dark.  In Kampala we got an Elgon Flyer to Mbale, which is a much nicer bus than going on a matattoo.  After sleeping most of the 4 hours we arrived to Mbale and realized we were carrying way too much stuff to hop in an already overcrowded matattoo so we hired a taxi to drive us home.  As soon as we stepped foot outside the taxi, there was 10 kids waiting to grab our bags.  They were so excited that we were back and everyone just wanted to come hangout with us.  Allan, a local boy about my age, explained how boring it was without us and was so happy to see us back.  These kids have so little to look forward to, so when they see us it is the best part of their day.  We had been traveling almost nonstop though, so I had to tell them I would play tomorrow and I went to bed.
