Cake, round 2

Today was another field day for me. I went to some MISC homes with Fiona, Phidelis, and Joseph the translator. I had been to three of the four homes four weeks ago on my first field day, so it was nice to see some familiar faces. This one kid is absolutely adorable and so sweet. It all went well and I trained Fiona on the GPS some more and taught Phidelis how to track a path. Hopefully a few people are getting it enough that there will be no problems when I leave. When we got back to the office I ate lunch with Fiona and then we used the map data we collected to make a google map. The data was a bit weird, but it mostly worked out. That basically took us until almost five so we just kind of messed around and played solitaire until the day was over.

After work I spent the evening with who? With Phidelis of course. We went into town and I gave some photos to the photo shop to print for me so I old leave some pictures for Phidelis of our travels together and for Emma from when we visited his family and his monkey. We then went to collect the ingredients to make another cake. We also tried to find a cake pan but were unsuccessful, but it didn't matter in the end. After collecting the ingredients we went back to the guest house and had a soda and relaxed for a minute.

We didn't stay too long at the guest house before we headed back to town. I went to the bank and then picked up my photos. They turned out nicely and I was quite pleased. We then got a special to Prime Hotel to bake the cake. Phidelis's friend Susan own the Prime and it's quite a nice place in Tororo. We successfully baked a lovely cake and Susan even had real where sugar (Uganda is mostly unrefined cane sugar which isn't always great for baking). It went well and Susan is great. While we baked she got me two sodas and a mushroom soup and got Phidelis two beers and wouldn't let us pay at all. I also bought a necklace from Susan that she made. I was an overall really nice evening and I can't wait to frost the cake (with Nutella since there is no frosting here and I don't want to attempt to make it) and have people eat it. I hope it tastes good; it sure smelled nice!

After baking the cake and hanging out for a bit Susan drove us back to the guest house. Phidelis wanted to hang out a bit more but it was after 10pm so I told him I was very tired (which I was) and went to bed. I have now finished getting ready for bed and I can't wait to go to sleep. So tired tonight!

Cake baking!
