Day 14 - KAMPALA

We went to Kampala today! The city was fun… My younger sister Sarah went with us, along with Amanda’s sisters Sarah & Kevin.  Kevin is a girl’s name in Uganda, interesting, huh?  I didn’t buy much… just a postcard & some yummy frap coffee drink.  I was really, really missing my little sister today though.  I kept thinking to myself, “Ah, Alex would love this!” or “Man, I miss shopping with MY sister…”

I love you Alexandra Nicole :)

Today’s Struggles:

1)   I can’t ask Sarah if she likes these earrings or those sandals because then she lights up & asks if I mean for her… & the time she was looking at the cheap watch.  The man said, “10,000 shillings” (aka- 5 dollars) and Sarah said okay & gave him the 1,000 that Mama had given her.  He looked at me & said, “She wants this watch but it seems that she does not have the money.  I didn’t buy that watch.  USP was very clear that giving money creates a boundary between those that we should be building relationships with… instead I paid for transportation, coffee, & pizza for both of us.

Today’s Best:

1)   … that coffee frap.  Seriously, I was starting to get desperate.

2)   Mama bought me another Mango Juice box to go with my dinner!  Never had a Mango juice box? Don’t worry, I’m stocking up.

3)   LIMBO!  Ah… it was great.  My sister’s & I like to dance & play lots of games that don’t require material things, aka: clapping, spinning, & singing games.  But last night I realized that you don’t need anything material to play limbo!  Best day ever!  It was such a hit, not to mention that I’m a limbo champ.  The girls & I played for awhile but then Mama said, “And me?” BAHHH, so good!  Mama totally limbo-ed! After all of the cheering she said, “Ah, I am getting so old!” Which reminded me of my momma back home… Neither of you are actually old of course, silly moms.

I love you momma :)

TODAY:

1) ME- “Sarah, what do they say?”

     SARAH- “Haha, they say if you give us that Muzungu we will surely marry her.”
