Hi everyone. Things in Kampala are great, especially since I got myself a cell phone. The day started off slowly because the Pap children had their tennis lesson from 9-10. After they got back home, we started school at around 10:30 and worked until about 1 to finish. Then I went to town. I needed some groceries, so I though I might as well try find a cell phone while I was at it. So I took the taxi into town, and then took a boda boda to the Sheriton Hotel. I saw a cell phone that was really cheap there last week, but didn't have any money with me. As we were weaving in and out of traffic (we only had to swerve out of the way of another boda boda once, because not even a toothpick could have fit in between our tires) I saw another boda boda who had 3 people on it. Ok, try to picture a scooter with three grown men on it. Hilarious to say the least, especially when one of the men invited me to join them. I laughed pretty hard. Anyways, I bought the cell phone for only 100,000 shillings. That is roughly equivelent to $55 US. So incoming calls are free on this phone, and I need to buy "pay as you talk" cards. I thought it was a pretty good deal. So if anybody wants to phone me, just send me an email and I will gladly give you my number. Well, that's all for today. Have a good day.
