All, you may have heard about the riots and protests that have taken place in Kampala this week and which escalated today. While it has been a bit unsettling to hear the news of what was happening in the city, we have not been in harm's way and are each very well, very safe and very calm. It happened that we had already planned on taking it easy this morning and relaxing at the ARA where we are staying because we have had a very intense pace (and yes, I wanted to watch the Royal wedding). So, we just decided to stay close to home the whole day and not risk going out and running into closed roads, etc. It's been nice to slow down a bit and to reflect on these last few days. By this afternoon, the city was calm and tomorrow we hope that things will be running as usual. So, please know that we are in a secure place and that all is well. We send lots of love to all those who have been concerned for us...

I heard about the situation on the BBC and was indeed concerned although I didn't expect you would be participating in political demonstrations. Keep safe! Susan
