As you know I've enjoyed your blog and appreciated the information you've shared - it's brought the Peace Corps experience closer to me since Greg does not have the same computer access in Wundanyi. I know your time there is winding down and I hope it all goes smoothly! Greg is sending me an address so we can get those toothbrushes to you. Take care, Wendy Hi Paul,

Unbweabable! But really, this is a great peek into your vacation. I've gotta see this with my own eyes. Eating pizza on the banks of the Nile, Paul? Unbweabable!

What I like best about it is that it shows both snapshots of real-life, on-the-ground living of the citizens, together with the privileged luxuries those same every'men will never get to experience. That sushi place...in Westlands? Your comments about the Rwandan genocide are curious, as I'm sure you know that it was a much more complicated affair caused by more than "a small militia" using "some pathetic propaganda". <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.A._Riots#Underlying_causes" rel="nofollow">Were the L.A. riots of '92 due to</a> a guy getting being beat up by police? As a PCV you're expected to be better informed about world events, especially those in your current backyard. You have all the time in the world to read about the true facts of Rwanda's history. I hope you do. You didn't name the lake in Uganda. Where is it, and how best to get there? I wanted to take my girlfriend and her daughters to one of the Ugandan lakes this past Christmas, I heard they're a great alternative to the hectic and expensive Kenya Coast scene during the major holidays. I asked my Ugandan roommate for advice but (not-)surprisingly he was less than useless. Any other Ugandan lake areas that have been recommended?
