I think there's a curse that using the internet brings on the rain, haha, because it's pouring again! We got soaked on our way home last night, but it felt good. I took a bucket shower last night (their house has a real shower, but they made us take a bucket shower as an initiation, haha). It was cold but refreshing! Dinner was pretty good. The cook made posho (it was like cooked cereal but really thick--it was alright, but nearly flavorless), eggplant (strange... not my favorite), rice and beans (these were my favorite--I have a feeling I'll be eating a lot of them in the next few months), and cooked greens (eww... they were weird). Luckily after our water scare yesterday and our introduction to some new foods we are all feeling well and have not gotten sick yet. Keep your fingers crossed!
Sleeping under a mosquito net is kind of tricky! We didn't have enough string yet to tie them all up so we tried to get creative with duck tape. Well the tape only held for a few hours and then collapsed on us during the night. I felt like I was sleeping under a weird suffocating blanket, but I was so tired that it didn't even matter. I fell right back to bed.
The kids here are so cute! They chase us down the street yelling "Hi Muzungo!" That is Lugandan for white person. Haha, some of them act like they've never seen anyone with fair skin before. One even ran up to me and held my hand and walked for nearly five minutes with me up the street. He couldn't have been more than four years old. It was so funny. I didn't know how far I should let him go with me, but I didn't want to be rude and shake him off, haha. Eventually he turned around and left. Well, I think that's all for now, but I'm loving Uganda and all the adventures it's bringing me!
