We had quite the lazy day today. With no need to do baseline surveys, we just chilled around the house until after lunch when we planned the specifics of our malaria education session for next Tuesday. We worked on some posters, a skit, and the details of malaria. Using their makeshift football, we played keep away with the kids until our boda bodas came for our team trip!
An impromptu journey, we all traveled to Kaliro, a town much like Iganga in the next district over. We got some ingredients for our French Toast breakfast on Sunday! It was another beautiful boda ride there and back. We left around 5:30 and when we got back, we were riding under an amazing sunset sky with a sliver of the moon beaming over the rice fields.
When we got back, we had the quieter group of kids waiting for us - Samuel, Daniel, Eria, and Kabaale. They played with our headlamps, flashlights, and phones. We played some music for them and watched them rock out to Rihanna, Usher, and Neon Trees. After that, it was more Game of Thrones and then sleep!

Fish Eyeballs
We finally finished baseline surveys today! No more walking house to house in the hot baking African sun!
I made a bouquet of flowers for Guster today. As I went with Juliana to Nabitende, the local trading post, I threw the bouquet to Guster as we passed by on the boda. He caught it with a giant smile on his face! At Nabitende, we picked up some fish for dinner, our fully charged phones, and some lesus (they look like scarves that women wear around their waists). It was beautiful riding on a boda boda as the sun was setting. The sky was a beautiful pink and purple canvas.
I came back to find the regular kids at our porch. Reagan, who's 12, and I held up my lesu and the smaller kids jumped and danced underneath it. As we said goodbye, they pulled on my wrist to take me back to their house. Nesse (rhymes with Messi), Said (pronounced Sigh-E-D), and Batale all have death grips I swear!
With fish for dinner tonight, I had fish eyeballs for the first time! It's pretty slimy, but tasty!
