hours to depart

I leave Uganda in a few hours. It’s strange that my count down moved from a vague realization that I would one day leave to my departure only being hours away. I have mixed feelings about leaving. I am excited to see everyone and be back in the structured and orderly world I am from but I will miss so many things about Uganda. Not knowing what is next makes it worse. The other night I was talking to one of my friends. We were talking about the strange turns in our lives and she said you know it’s weird that Africa is like your other home. It is weird, who would have thought that my life would take so many strange turns? Who would have thought that I would live in two worlds? Equally comfortable in small villages or the streets of Paris. Life is strange.
