Today, I woke up at 8am to the church next door praising Jesus with songs.
Later, I made my first money exchange at the bank. Here, $1= 2,430 shillings. After my visit to the bank, I met up with a dear, sweet friend Eileen for milkshakes at a restaurant called The Source. It was chocolate and it was delicious. Partly because it was frozen-ish.
After our shakes of deliciousness, we wandered around the local shops just poking our noses around at what they had and how much they were selling them for. Unfortunately, we left empty handed. But the time that we were able to spend together catching up and laughing was better than anything in those shops (here is my cheesy-bit for the day). I love that girl.
It started to get late, so we walked back to Josh's house together. Our scary moment for the day was when we had to walk past eight giant trucks filled with Ugandan army men. All staring at us. Eileen and I did the best we could to not make eye contact with any of them. Considering they were all slightly scary. But, we made it past. Home safe and sound.
We went inside and sat on the counter and chatted some more, snacking on watermelon and drinking cool glasses of freshly boiled water. Hey, we are girls, we love to talk!
It started to get dark and windy outside like it was about to storm. My parents were not back from being in town so it was just me, Josh, and Addy (his german shepherd dog). The wind was beating on the house with such force, I had to calm down the slamming windows and doors. We pulled everything inside and locked everything. We had to secure the only banana tree we had left because the other seven were destroyed in the last storm.
The storm lasted a mere thirty minutes and it was finished. I'm back on my hammock now, listening to the cows next door and the horns honking up and down the street. Oh, and I got sunburnt today. Worst part is, I'm excited. I mean, did anyone from Virginia get sunburnt today? ;)
