Here’s me eating a rolex. I am so jealous of myself. OMG this is torture.

Look at this rolex being made and this dude eating it. OMG.

It’s 1 AM and I’m starving and all I want is a rolex. A rolex is basically a chapati (an Indian flatbread popular in many east African countries) with two fried eggs, onion, cabbage, and tomato rolled up inside it. It sounds simple but it’s made with quality ingredients and oh my goodness it is a TASTE EXPLOSION. You can get one for 1000 Ugandan shillings, which is like 40 cents.

THE TEAM! Mawe, what a sexy group.

GPO… Ugandan children.

This is Faith Kunihira’s lovely home, where we stayed over the 12 days that we were in Kaihura, Uganda. The very first time I walked down that driveway, I saw Faith with her arms wide open, and she said, “Welcome home.” And so it became home.

The second window from the left belongs to the room where I stayed with 5 other girls. The van on the right is the 14-person vehicle into which we would regularly stuff 20-25 people. It is the most beastly thing on the planet and can overcome anything the wet Ugandan soil brings its way. The garage-looking thing beside it is actually the big dining room where we would all gather for dinner and post-dinner hangouts. On our last Friday night, we took out the table and it turned into a dance floor.

First glimpse of Uganda! Love at first sight.

I’M BACK! With a backpack and two purses and skin five shades darker and overgrown armpit hair and a full, happy heart. 

I’m having travel withdrawals and all this technology is a little bit overwhelming, but I shall soon return in full force with pictures and stories and THIS IS NOW A UGANDAN BLOG. 

Also, I love you guys and I missed you so much!
