First time in Bunio village


We went today to Bunio for the first time along with the subcounty office. First we took a taxi (mini bus designed for 12 people that sits 18! Don't tell me how I got inside with my backpack and helmet) and then a boda boda (motorcycle taxi). The chief and his family welcomed us with a lunch of rice and beans along with a huge portion of Jack fruit (there are pictures but uploading will be almost impossible with the connection). We then had corn on the cob and walked back to the main road for the taxi back to Iganga. I am sitting here in this cafe with Juliet after a Coca-Cola that tasted just unbelievable and we will go back to Jenny's place shortly. I just signed up to run a 15K race this weekend, even though they will allow to walk it (that is mostly what I will do). It starts at the beginning of the Nile in Jinja and costs just 10K shillings (about USD 5 to sign up). I have a couple of stories on my notebook but I will post them later on when I have a better connection and Juliet is not as tired.

Lusoga words for the day: Bambi= Please / Baaaambi= Sorry
