March 12th-13th: Friday and Saturday
Friday morning the Wrights left for Kampala. They are playing at the annual Irish Ball on Saturday night while Justin, Heather, Laurie, and I are meeting Jim and Jenny and going to Sipi. Friday we spent hanging out. Justin and I walked into town and got some food while Heather stayed back. We ate at Yeroen’s shop and had some yogurt and chapatti. After that we wondered around Mbale town for a bit and were mistaken for Asians.
Milton gave us a ride from Mbale up to where the tarmac ends and the road to Sipi splits off. Jim and Jenny were waiting for us. It is good to see them again. We drove up to Sipi and checked in at the Crow’s Nest. That night we ate at Sipi River Lodge and then hung out afterwards. Right before we started dinner JB called to say his wife is in labor.
The next morning we went hiking having lunch at the top waterfall. After hiking a few of us went on a “coffee tour”. We got ripped off. We had been told that we would be able to participate in the process and stuff but they just showed us some coffee plants and gave us a cup of joe.
That night we ate at Sipi River lodge again and spent the afternoon hanging out there. I was able to get online and watch a few You tube videos and do some email. The food that night was as good as the night before. pumpkin soup with fresh bread and cottage pie with some mango thing for dessert. wow. We heard that day Joyce, JB’s wife, had given birth to a little boy.
