the daily grind

---

hi everyone-

so nothing too exciting to report. i mean being here is an adventure in itself, but really i've just been attending lectures durning the day and hanging out with my host family at night. this weekend my host sister and her cousin took me to Owino Market. it's a fabric and clothing market in the city. it was packed to with people and products. most of the clothes/shoes/bags are second hand and they sit in a pile in front of the vendor and you have to bend down to sort through everything to find what you want. so my sister calls it the "bend over boutique". there are narrow pathways between the vendors so you are literally cheek to cheek with the other shoppers.

on sunday my family took me to their church service. they are born agains, so needless to say it was a lively sermon with lots of music (a live band and choir...i really enjoyed that aspect of it).

next week we are visiting western uganda as well as traveling to kigali, rwanda.

i'll update you when i get back.
