Merry Christmas from Uganda

Merry Christmas!

Obviously I am not having a white Christmas, but the reds and greens on the tea estate are amazing. 

I am truly thankful to find myself in such a beautiful location and surrounding by such a kind and welcoming community. I am also blessed to have the love and support from my family and friends back home. Thank you for the care packages, gifts, emails, and text messages. I miss you all. Happy Holidays! I wish you an abundance of joy and peace in the New Year. 

Side note, canna lilies are planted in the tea fields to correct the acidity in the soil. Any place the tea bushes are not growing well, they plant canna lilies. You can see the fields in the background have many patches of these flowers. To have a field full of red flowers is a bad sign for the tea company, but for me, they are gorgeous.
