Food and Dirt in one day

The rains have begun!!!!! Imagine walking 4 kilometers on hilly, wet clay and then having an unfortunate incident involving a big puddle and a big truck. No I’m not dead, but I was head to toe RED!!!! The kids walking to school (SO CLEAN) were looking at this dirty muzungu in utter amazement. They tell you that Uganda is dirty but Ugandans are clean – so true!

Last night, however, made up for it; we had chapattis (which Ugandans eat plain, with beans or with eggs—but not much curry) and I showed my host mom how to make guacamole-----mmmmmm!

To put the two together; my friend’s host mom does not clean food properly and she finds quite a bit of dirt. Now it is stuck in her gut and we’ve decided it to be a new weight loss solution—fill up on dirt and you feel full, it’s not fatty, and it will probably work like fiber!
