Where's Waldo?

We drove about 10 hours North (almost to the border of Sudan) to Pajule last week to check out our organizations operations up there. After work we managed to get in about 3.7 seconds of Ultimate Frisbee before being swarmed by a gaggle of locals. Having never seen a frisbee before, they though I was some kind of magician who could make things float through the air (my wizard's beard didn't help disprove this theory).

Do you like the taste of my AASWAD?

Showcased above is the infamous Punjabi Thali - flagship of Jinja's finest Indian establishment: AASWAD. Complete with (clockwise from top left) dhal, vegetable rice, paneer masala, onion and tomato, TURBO NAAN (with everything but the kitchen sink), and some taco shell-type-thing that Cash McMogulson would never eat.

At this point this is 1/7 of what goes into my body...I walk in and say "The regular Baboo. Thank you please."

Testing Out the New Kitchen

Although the new kitchen has very limited amenities, it now has two new member who, when put together, make one really good cook.

Princess Mal in Kampala

Malli taking a Boda Boda ride through the capital of Uganda. She's been very elusive lately, but luckily this bearded photographer (seen in rear-view mirror) was able to track her down...although it couldn't have been too hard since she's the only blondie on the continent.

A Taste of Uganda

Typical Ugandan Cuisine: Matooke (banana looking thing), Pumpkin, Beans, Rice, mystery green veggies, and of course enough Cholula to take down a horse...a symphony of flavor. We came over with 11 bottles of the stuff and, after a week, are down to 9...

Hair Mayonnaise

Our new boss. He runs a pretty tight ship.

Let the Games Begin!

20 Hours of Travel

After a selective packing process we still had to pay a hefty sum to
get all of our over-weight luggage checked. We flew 9 hours from
Houston to Amsterdam, 2 hour layover, and 9 hours from Amsterdam to
Entebbe. Pleasantly surprised, KLM had all of our 7 checked bags
awaiting our arrival with only minor items missing from a suitcase!

UGANDA: Our African Adventure Begins

After traveling for 22 hrs half way across the world, this is the view
that welcomed us from the back porch of our three story house in
Jinja. Located at the source of the Nile river, Jinja or "Jinjatown"
as the locals call it, has a population of 80,000 and is the third
largest city in Uganda. Our house is conveniently located right by a
health club, golf course, swimming pool, and right between the town
center and the Nile (which you can see just to the left of that palm
tree).
