Day off!

 Today I finally had a day. To just relax and do whatever I felt like. It was so nice since I have literally been going for three plus straight weeks without a day. To just unwind (outside of a moving vehicle at least). I slept in, which was really necessary after hearing people singing quite loudly with loud speakers at 3:30a, which kept me up for almost an hour. So bizarre. It was definitely crack music because I heard a lot of hallelujahs. Anyways, I had a delicious breakfast that was the same as every other morning: eggs, toast, and a banana. I smothered the toast in Nutella and dipped the banana in it too. So delicious. 

Joan decided to go to the Rock Classic Hotel, which is about two miles away, for the day but I wanted to hang out around here and run some errands. I first sat and finished reading Tina Fey's book Bossypants, which was pretty good. After reading I went to the bank to get some cash, got some water, juice, ramen, and a cup to use my steripen with at the "supermarket", and got a mango and an avocado at the market. The two prices of fruit were a combined 35 cents! They are also really fresh and the avocados and mangos here are so delicious. I can't wait to eat them.

On my way back from the market I ran into Fidelis, one of the GHU Tororo drivers who was my driver with the Michigan group until we got here so I know him quite well. I wait with him while her got his hair cut and had a Fanta and then we went to the Crystal Hotel to watch the news and have some chips. I showed him a bunch of pictures and when my phone died w walked back to my guest house and watched the end of the Nigeria-Portugal soccer match while looking at all my Uganda pictures so far. I eventually got tired and went to my room to rest, but instead of taking a nap like I intended I uploaded a bunch of photos to this blog! So enjoy photos dating back all the way to when I left the USA to travel here. It took a bunch of data, but at least they are up for you all to enjoy. 

The rest of the evening I pretty much just spent reading and eating dinner. I started a new Nicholas Sparks book, so in a few days I will have to be ready to cry a ton as I read the ending as they are always sad in one way or another. I ate my mango and half my avocado with a beef burger (that was actually three mini patties with no bun) and chips. My mango was so amazing. I was in heaven. Anyways, that's about all for today! It's dark and nice out and I'm ready for bed :) he's a pic of a cool flower I saw today.
