Saturday is our P-day. We decided to take a drive out of the city to see what we could see. We saw people working hard. People visiting with each other. People going places with their families. We love the Ugandan people. They always smile, wave and are friendly and easy to talk to. There is a natural give and take here. No defensiveness, no anger and frustration. They take life as it comes and adapt to the circumstances they are in. Their philosophy is "I will get the advantage this time but I will give you the advantage next time, and they do. It is a good attitude.

Ugandan Beef
We saw a sign at the side of the road one day
"Ugandan Beef - Roasted and Flied"
They get their Rs and Ls mixed up.
Pineapples on Boda Bodas . I don't know how in the world they can get so much stuff on their bikes..
Coffin with a view. Trish will appreciate this one.
We watched this little girl sweep the dirt for about 10 minutes in front of her house. Just like Mom
Ken bought a 12 pound Jack Fruit at the side of the road. When you stop for construction or any other reason there are many people at your car window selling their wares. This Jack fruit was one of the things we bought. They grow on the trees like a huge cancer. They can get up to 80 pounds. This is just a small one. Apparently it is the largest fruit in the world. It is very sticky and is hard to get off your hands and knives. Tastes kind of like Cantalope.
We had a fun time exploring and meeting with people in Lewerro.
