Fun facts about our life here




-       The water is cold, so our showers are short

-       Sometimes the water is brown and just shuts of mid way through a “shower”

-       We don’t have internet in Bukelaba (that is why you are seeing 4 blogs posted at once)!

-       Our electricity is run by a generator at night and in the day solar panels are used to generate electricity....So cloudy days mean no electricity

-       There isn’t a fridge or freezer so our food is bought from Jinja daily

-       We can’t drink the water, or even brush our teeth with it

-       We sleep in bug nets and kill at least 10 while putting it over the bed each night
-       Kaitlyn, Layne and Dacia’s room is 10 by 10 with three beds.  Thomas has the same size room, just with a bigger bed

-       Kaitlyn and Thomas have only gotten sick once on the third night (Lucky for Layne she stayed clear of whatever we ate)

-       Breakfast consists of coffee, tea, delicious passion fruit juice, toast, the best pineapple and sometimes eggs

-       Our favorite foods have been the massive avocado, the freshest pineapple, and Betty’s flavorful beef stew.

-       We eat on an outdoor patio with an incredible view that looks over Lake Victoria

-       The sun sets around 7:30 each night, so we play lots of card games at night… and it gets very competitive, especially with the three of us!
