For the past couple of days I have been dancing like a maniac learning traditional Ugandan dance. We are also learning drumming on the drums that were made for us and we get to bring home.
We got to explore the city a lot, and even though it is a pretty dirty city, the people are very friendly and happy. We got to see the children's dance group called "The spirit of Uganda," and they travel the U.S. on a 3 month tour. It was very commercial but the audience loved it.
Tonight we did a walking tour of the city with our Ugandan counter parts, it is very interesting to walk the city at night and see the surroundings. There are a lot of poor people here which was very sad. There were very young children on the street begging for money... it was very sad.
We ended up eating in the market down the hill from us. It was very interesting, but the food was delicious and simple.
I promise that one of these days I will get time to load some pictures.
Now off to bed.
