Week 1 - Part 1: London

First of all, thank you all so much for your support and prayers. I arrived in London Monday morning (middle of the night at home) and had 12 hours to kill until my flight to Uganda. I took the Underground into London and walked around for about 3 hours. If I wasn't tired enough after my flight... I was exhausted after that!

Where I got off the Underground

These signs on every cross walk were very helpful since they drive on the opposite side of the road!

I was able to see Parliament, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye, Buckingham Palace, and a few gardens

After my adventure in London, I still had 3 more hours to wait at the London airport before my flight to Uganda.

31 Bits

My grandma was in a store and shared with an employee about how I was going to Uganda. Some how this women is connected to a company called 31 Bits and told my grandma all about it. I was looking at the website and all of the stuff is very cute PLUS made in Uganda. My understanding is they employ around 99 women that have been displaced by the war in northern Uganda.

I believe these women design the jewelry and then sell it to 31 Bits. 

Just an idea if you are looking to start your Christmas shopping a little early! Or just want to treat yourself!
