My Favorite Things of Uganda

As you probably know me and my family (the Hallahans) are leaving Uganda, probably forever, so I would like to share to you some of my favorite things.

Firstly I have always loved the wide and unique variety of nature that Uganda has, specifically animals. I have always loved animals for the longest time and Uganda has some of coolest, and most unique animals the world has to offer. No matter how old I am, it has always been awesome to visit the zoos, parks and wildlife centers of Uganda.

Secondly I love the culture of Uganda since it is so different from the rest of the world. The artwork is so beautiful and unique, the songs and dances are awesome, and even the food is great.

And lastly, but certainly not least, is just Uganda itself. When you just look at the culture, the people, and the nature it is a small wonder why it is "the pearl of Africa".

I hope you are all surviving though these crazy quarantine times.

Missing Uganda...

The thing I miss the most from Uganda is Siddely, our dog.  I liked playing with him.  My daddy and I used to play a game with Siddely- the game was hide and seek.  And Siddely had to find me! I wonder how big he will be when we get back.  When he gets older and older, he will get calmer and calmer.  But when he was first new he was really playful!   -Seth

Another thing we miss is the church with all the steps.  I think there are 30 hundred steps!  It's great because this church is at a school, so there are desks where we can color during church!  And we loved to spin and dance around in the back of church during the music.  I love to show Mr. Edwin my colorings after church is over.  One thing we don't really like about big church is having to shake everyone's hands!  And Mommy and Daddy stand around after church talking to everybody and everybody-but we just go out and wait on the balcony.  -Caleb

Saying Goodbye to Places

Last Saturday we went to Speke Resort.  It was a our last swim day in Uganda.  First we walked in the gardens.  The garden was nice.  Then me and Caleb swam.  It was a sunny day.  We had lots of fun.  We ate food.  And learned that we are not allowed to eat food in the pool.  Then we swam one more time.  After, me and Caleb went in the big pool with Mommy and Daddy.  Then we go'd back home.  I will miss Speke! -by Seth
