Enjovu is elephant

- i awoke and took a bucket bath this morning. it felt extraordinary!

- i hand washed my clothes for two hours. but as my clothes were hanging up on the line, my shirt was pooped on. by a bird - to clarify any confusion. i'll wash it tomorrow.

- i almost caught a grasshopper. it cheated. it could fly.

- i met dennis and tony at the university and we ate lunch and walked around and talked while i waited for the library to open. i gave them pocket "enjovu's" (elephants). dennis wondered if rambo was real. he said that is what people thought about americans. they could kill entire barracks of soldiers by themselves. i broke the news. rambo is not real.

- i met peterson again and we went back to his hostel to retrieve my water bottle. he had picked it up for me after i left it in a field. what a pal eh? i say yes. a pal. and so he walked home with me and met some of my family. also, walking with people is called a push. so peterson gave me a push to my home. i like that.

- i helped peel bananas for matoke.

- i went with the ladies for water. we took a bunch of jerricans to the water spout, but the water "was out." what? how is the water out? what does a person do when the water is "out?" these people don't have indoor plumbing. we went back and would wait until the water was "in (?)"

- i saw president museveni's convoy pass by. he is visiting different areas in the mukono district for the next few days. there were honking cars and motorcycles. then some police cars with sirens blaring passed. then a few convoys of soldiers. museveni was supposed to be in one of those.

- i actually did catch a grasshopper.

- i found some sleeping bats in some banana leaves.
