This last weekend has been a good one. We went to Pallisa, which is a village 3hours from Jinja. We went there to for lunch. Our night guard is from there and his father lives up there so we went to see him and their mud huts. Was a long drive but it was so nice to see other parts….lots of rice fields out that way. It has been stormy weather lately so the sky is very dramatic and beautiful. That day it was so many different shades of blue and gray and really made you notice the greens and reds. We finally got to the village and they made us food…. Lots of posho, rice, chicken, goat. Was very. nice we ate in a hut, was fun to be there. After lunch we sat around for a while and just hung out with Daniel and his brother ( Daniel lives behind the house here and is son on Patrick, Who is our guard) They are funny people we laughed till it hurt. We ate more after that, its crazy how much they want to feed us. We got given a goat(live) to take home. That was not a fun car trip home. Was hot and the car was full…..yeah three of us got to ride in the back with ‘Heyyy Goat’ in the back. Not something I want to do on a hot day again.
Today the boys went up to Patrick’s and killed ‘Heyy Goat’ for lunch. The rest of us (Courtney, Rachel, Julie and me) went to like five of the ladies house and got some more necklaces form them. they were so happy to have that little extra. I had a really good morning. Courtney had some money given to her to give one to Gertrude to help with school fees. We all ended up crying. She was so grateful as well as her girls. Was a lovely moment. She is an incredible person.
I almost forgot….on our way to Gertrude’s we found a kitten no more than a few days old. It was lying in the middle of the road. We could not just leave it there...so i picked it up and took it with me. we got home and fed it.
