1. You see a camel at the Shell Station...and I am not joking!
2. You wait in line at the bank for an hour because the network is down, receive your receipt, and find out that it is only the receipt to get the real receipt. For the real receipt ( a necessary document), you must come back in 2 1/2 hours, at which time you find out the network is down again, so you wait another hour.
3. You break for a bull crossing the road in rush-hour traffic.
4. You see random goats and cows tied to trees lining the road.
5. Fast food is people rushing to your car window with fried chicken on a stick, grilled sweet bananas, and airtime minutes.
And all of this is from today only! For those of you who have been here, please feel free to add to the list...I bet you have some good ones too!
We are still waiting to hear about the passport. I will know something tomorrow morning. As soon as I hear, I will post. Thank you for your continued prayers.

Did the camel have to pay for his "fuel" too? HA I've had to break for some bull in my life, too, but it never had four hooves! HAHA At least I thought I was funny!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you will be home THIS TIME NEXT WEEK! Yay!
Still praying!
WE MISS YOU MRS. KECK!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for you to come home!!
How about driving down Jinja-Kampala road and running over a 3-foot-long monitor lizard trying to cross the highway? That was fun. (One of yesterday's events for us!)
ReplyDeleteHilarious! Still can't believe you saw a camel at the Shell station! Sorry our conversation got cut short yesterday, but I heard you say you needed to go, so I didn't call back. Just heard about Lindsey's court date...so sorry! Keep us posted. Love you, Dana! Give Asher a BIG HUG and KISS!

You know you're in Africa when::
ReplyDeletea: your feet turn orange from the red dirt.
b: you can go on a hike in Mibira Nat'l Reserve and see trees as tall as buildings.
c: you eat fried tilapia 32 nights in a row for dinner. ;o)
d: you get the best ever iced cafe mocha at the best ever coffee shop in all the world. Flavours, I miss you.
