It's Photo Phriday!

hey dad guess what!  i saw a huge termite hill and took a picture for you.

We saw a lion on the safari!  YAY!  it was five in the morning.  TIRED!

This is jayne and derek.  They are friends that Lisa and I met staying at the guest house.  They shared coffee and conversation with us and told us about Wales.  They have been coming to the South Rwenzori diocese for 15 years together and they have built a school here.

 Jayne is an Anglican priest in Wales and Derek, her husband, is an insurance broker.  I got to see Jayne baptize 11 African babies.  The service was trilingual because she said the baby's name in Luhkonzo, marked them with the cross of Christ in English, and said Father Son and Holy Spirit in Welsh.  I cried.

Jayne and Derek treated us to lunch at Hotel Margherita, where I was able to have a coke with ice in it and look at the mountains.

This is a view from the hike that Lisa and I went on with the medical students from the UK. (below)

From left to right: Victoria, Rosie, Lisa, Morwenna, Rachel, me, and Jane on the hike.  

So this hike, was really more of an awful thing than an invigorating thing.  observe the shoes.  also it is important to note that Ugandans tend to hike steep mountains faster than musungus because they grew up trotting up and down with big bushels of bananas on their heads.  I, on the other hand have been walking only on sidewalks my whole life.  Let's just say the hike was less than great for me.

This is real live coffee from real live Uganda.  Those beige-ish ones on the left will be roasted and such.  

ASWT, our favorite supermarket.  You can buy ICE CREAM here!!!!

All of the sewing machines are treadles here.  Here is one in front of a store in Kasese. Notice the signage: All these are done as, you wait.  This is Africa

Phun!

Well this week has been pretty uneventful.  I was exhausted on Monday from the weekend so I stayed home from school.  Then Tuesday was a holiday, no school.  Wednesday I was feeling pretty sick so I did nothing but read.  And yesterday...well yesterday I was homesick.  

So, since I haven't really been doing much this week, (except for reading and feeling homesick or regular sick) I think I'm going to go down to the hospital for the second half of the morning to poke around with my camera and maybe this time, I will get to witness a birth.  

Or maybe I'll just wander around feeling useless and conspicuous because I am:

1. not a doctor

2. white

.....or maybe something wonderful will happen.

let's hope for that.
