SATURDAY ADVENTURES IN KAMPALA

Last Saturday we decided to spend the day out. Because my mom is still not comfortable driving everywhere and Corey and Kyle are out doing stuff during the week, most of our day is spent at the house or close around it. I was excited to get out of the house for a bit and explore Kampala…little did we know how our day would turn out! Our first stop was to a paint shop to buy some brushes. While there we saw a tiny puppy walking around, I tried to convince my mom to let us take it home but she wouldn’t buy into me and Liam’s plan of adopting the dog. Then we drove what seemed forever due to traffic to get to a nice market where there is a lot of tourist stuff to look at. It was neat looking at the artwork etc. of Uganda. We ended up buying some Christmas cards to send to our family and friends back home. Then we all piled back into the car and decided to go and finish painting the bomgi logo before we went out for lunch (Keep in mind that eating out here is the best thing in the world because its when you can order something that is normal…a hamburger and fries! So I was looking forward to lunch). We arrive at the house where we are painting the Bomgi logo onto and Corey decides to use our car key to try and pry open the stubborn paint can… and OOPS he broke the car key in half! And of course at this particular time, Simbwa (The man who’s house were painting who knows everything you need to know about Uganda) is not at home and not answering his phone…then the phone line goes down so were stuck. We paint and wait. We eventually got ahold of Kyle who came and picked corey up on his Motorbike and long story short, we all had to get home on 2 Motorbikes…we were a sight to see and got a lot of heads turning our way as we drove by!

Oh and lets not forget to mention that while we were waiting to get picked up there were tons of grasshoppers flying around everywhere! A few landed on me and yes ill admit that I screamed and ran and all the little kids laughed when they saw one on my head! No we did not get a delicious lunch after all, but I did get a lesson in patience.
