Day 3 - Sunburn


Breakfast, again, was excessively large.  But the tea is still really good & sweet.  I’ll need to go to the dentist as soon as I get home.

Reverend drove me to school today, which is awfully nice of him because otherwise it’s a 40-minute walk.  Hopefully I am able to learn the route eventually though… I want the experience of walking though the crazy, hectic streets of Mukono.

Today I sat by my favorite fountain on campus & did some of my reading & journaling.  It was lovely.  There was a bright blue lizard there to keep my company.  I was also just told that I have some killer sunburn on the back of my neck. My response? No one at home has sunburn!!!!! If there’s anything I am perfectly comfortable with here, it’s the weather.

TODAY

1)
USP STUDENT – “T.I.A…. This is Africa!”

2)
MARK (Advisor) – “Americans are like fire trucks here.  They are uncommon, people stop & stare, and they get the children excited.”

3)
Ida – “Sista, dance with me!”
