My apologies for not updating this earlier, but the internet has been down since the bombings and I am currently blogging from an internet cafe in a local mall.
The bombs that hit Kampala were nowhere near where I was on Sunday. I had been to one of the bombing locations previously and am aware of the other, but neither are places that I frequent. Although the loss of 70+ lives and the feeling that the city and its people have been violated is disheartening and obviously a tragedy, I do not feel any less safe than I have in the fantastic two months that I have already lived here. This by no means does not mean that I will not be increasingly vigilant and careful about my safety, but I do want to express that Kampala is not, by any means, an unsafe place.
Because of my lack of internet access, it is highly unlikely that I will be able to update this blog again before I get back to America in a week and a half. I'll post more about my travels then.
