Uganda...a place I love

I am spending a week in Uganda.  I like the place and the people.  I call it my second home because I feel very comfortable moving around alone by myself.  I have been visiting Uganda for the past six years.

As usual, I make it a point to attend Sunday mass at the Christ the King church in Kampala.  I went for the 10:00 am mass.  Kampala road was closed to traffic.  Security was tight, armed policemen and soldiers are everywhere.  There was a very festive mood.  The road was lined with booths and shops selling various products.  I got myself two small oil paintings for about $15.

Today is the 55th year of Uganda's independence.  Hence, the preparation the day before.  The theme for this year's independence celebration:  "Uganda's freedom must be anchored in the spirit of hard work, resilience and commitment."

Congratulations to my Ugandan brothers and sisters!!!Peace and prosperity to Uganda, a place close to my heart.
