I am in the middle of my last week in Arua, and it’s a few weeks until I return home. After my last day here, I will go to Peace Corps Headquarters in Kampala for a few days, and start my Cessation of Service (COS) process. I’m also taking a few days to visit friends in Bugiri, Iganga and Jinja, including all three students we are helping to support. Then I will return to headquarters for the ceremonial “gonging out” and fly home that night.
Here are some photos for your education and entertainment. Most of these were taken on the way to the CARE office or going to town in the opposite direction. I have been walking briskly a bit more than a mile to work each day,and often both ways. On Sunday I walk to town, same distance. It hasn’t helped me lose much weight but it is good for my blood sugar.
I’ll start a walk to work with White Ants. Two or three times recently, usually right after a rain in the early evening, a plague of winged, “white ants” emerges, flying around my porch light, with some finding their way inside my place. They force me to turn off my lights and then retreat under my mosquito net in bed. The next morning I found my security guard running around and gathering them before she changed into her uniform to begin the day, Then, walking to work, I found kids picking them from the side of the road.

The longest lunar eclipse in a century passed over Uganda last week. I stood outside my house and took this to document my presence for it, This was 40 minutes before the total eclipse. The “blood moon” doesn’t show well from my smart phone of course. A few minutes later it clouded over. I’m told the light on the lower right was Mars. How many people can say they witnessed both a solar and lunar eclipse within a year?
