matoke...matoke...matoke...matoke...PIZZA

After many meals consisting of matoke and rice and beans if we were lucky, it was an excellent treat to find a Dominoes in Kampala this weekend. Cheese has never tasted so good! Don't get me wrong, I like the food here, especially the pineapple and mangoes, but there is no variety. Two weeks of eating matoke for dinner gets a little old, haha, and it's just going to keep going. There are hardly any foods with dairy products here; there's no cheese, and milk, yogurt, and ice cream are either weird/unpasteurized, or hard to come by. I love dairy! Let's just say I was overjoyed to have pizza and ice cream in one night.

So after our little feast, the day got even better. We went to Mandela Stadium in Kampala to watch a soccer game--Uganda vs Kenya. It was a sweet game, and Uganda won! We got seats on the front row, center field (and we only paid $10 for the tickets)! That definitely beats the nose-bleeds in the Delta Center. I even ran into my cousin Scott there who is a volunteer in Mukono. It was fun to see him and compare our experiences so far.

Stellar weekend!
