Well today May 1, 2011 I learned that I would have to take public transport home.  I was of course thrilled cause there is a bit of adventure involved in Ugandan transport.  like for instance coming in and out of Karamoja isn’t always easy.  It used to be that I would take the rock trucks, but they became a bit unpredictable so last time(or at least one of the times) I went down to Mbale I rode with another passenger on a motorcycle.  While it was not the most comfortable I found that it  did the job.  So anyway I went down today on a bike.  Most people in the world outside of say Africa, India and Italy have not spent too much time on a motorcycle or the back of one for the case of this instance......

One roof down and one to go

Today we went back into Karamoja and the rains have begun. I think its for real this time. So much so that my tent didn't stand a chance. Don't get me, wrong the tent i have is great but it was never intended to be used for 6 months straight. It sounds funny when I say that i live in a tent in Africa. Anyhow I came back today to find my tents center pole collapsed, so once again it was time for repair and the magic fix for everything is binding wire. Give me some bamboo, some papyrus mats, and I'll make just about anything. So the tent is fixed for now. I think this time now all the poles have been messed up. Another thing we did today was bring up one roof upside down on the back of a truck. It was quite a challege to lift the roof over a fence even with ten guys. Once we reached home the next challenge arose cause the road was not big enough for the roof to pass without tilting. We got what seemed like most of the idlers in town to carry the roof. So one roof down and one to go.
