We ran eight rapids over 23km of the Nile: three class V, five class IV. I only fell out of the boat twice, and everyone had a good time.
We arrived in Kampala almost a week ago, and have spent our days acclimating to the environment and timezone, and preparing demos for the Uganda Radio Network and UNICEF Innovation Lab.
Back from an amazing, exhausting, exhilarating weekend at Web of Change 2013. I reconnected with old friends, met internet colleagues in person, and joined an amazing community of people working to make the world a better place. I was a little nervous about the hype of the conference (the words “life changing” were used), but I threw my cynicism into the opening bonfire, and let my heart open.
For my annual visit to the east coast, I started at a wedding in Harrisburg, then to an anniversary party in Albany, then seeing old and new friends in Boston, wood stacking and lobster eating in Strafford, beach walking and Scrabble-playing in Maine, and finally some home time in Norwich. Whew.
