Someone asked me yesterday what American traditions are for easter and to be honest...I really had NO idea...
BUT today, the answer came to me...as I was sitting in a shuttle going to Jinja (about a 2 hour drive from my house)...my easter tradition is to go away...to do something fun and adventurous...
I think this started because I was a teacher and always had a week off right before easter...Some of my easter break trips in the past included London, Paris and Hawaii...all great fun...
So what did I do this easter?
I had a 4 day weekend...
Friday I went to the Entebbe Zoo...hung out with some monkeys and saw some of the local animal life
Saturday I went white water rafting on the Nile...and only managed to flip out of the raft once during a rapid
and then Sunday-Monday I went home to my village to visit my kids from Ebenezer Family and Mama Jane...
It was great fun, keeping in tradition of doing fun and adventurous things...but this time I did them within a 2 hour radius of my home here in Uganda!
