Saying "Goodbye" to Jinja

This will be our last post from Jinja, and it will need to be pretty brief. There is a whole lot more that we could say! We are busily packing our things into suitcases, and we are discovering how many things we acquired while we were here. Barbara has been scrubbing the red dirt from our shoes and sandals . . . but we can't get it all, and it seems appropriate that a trace should remain.
.
The Bogles will be taking us to Kampala this morning, and we plan to visit the Baha'i temple and to do some last-minute browsing in the shops. We will stay at Entebbe tonight, and fly to London tomorrow. We hope to return to Detroit on Sunday, just a little bit after noon.
.
We look forward to being home . . . the girls are missing Pizza Hut, and Keith is missing Mountain Dew . . . at the same time, though, we are very sorry to leave this place. We have met so many wonderful people, and the Manrys have been such excellent hosts. It will be difficult to drive away.
.
We probably won't have Internet access again, until we reach Michigan. We will try to make a few more posts, after we return . . . in particular, we want to give you some final reflections and photos.
