Back in Uganda!

I am very happy to be back in Uganda! This trip I brought an undergrad, Michael, from the University of New Hampshire with me to help with field work and to work on a project of his own. We just arrived last night and are in Kampala now for just a few days. It's a noisy and dirty city, so I'm really looking forward to getting back to the foothills of the Rwenzori mountains and the field station at Kibale National Park.

This afternoon, I had a really nice meeting with a collaborator at the Makerere University Farm in Gayaza. They have a really nice field station there and the students majoring in agriculture at the university have to spend a year living and studying there. Tomorrow we are going shopping and Sunday we will do some touristy things, like visiting the Uganda National Museum and the Kasubi tombs. Pictures to follow soon.
