Good morning! It is 6:49am Uganda time and 11:49pm NC time. I'm interested to hear how you parents explain its Wed here and Tuesday there to your kids. Just tell them that Mark & Cheryl can time travel ;-). No pictures from yesterday because it was dark from airport to hotel. Security is tight! Drove by the Rugby Club where terrorist bombers attached 3 weeks ago. Sobering, the whole bus got quite. We had a near accident with a motorcycle. The bus driver slammed on the brakes and my head slammed into the windshield. I was in front seat digging through my backpack and smack. I got a good view of the whole thing…
