Last night we went to Navikubo Stadium to watch the France v. Uruguay match on big screens. We called our driver (yes, we have a driver - so snobby) Twaha to take us, and he surprised us with his wife Sarah as well. They took great care of us. There were four students and Twaha and Sarah. They made sure the four of us were sandwiched between them all night long. The police at Navikubo would not let us in, but Twaha explained he brought 4 mzungus (foreigners), and they snuck us in! They batted all the Ugandans out of the way in order to do so. And we only had to pay the crooked cops 5,000 Ush ($2.50). It was a great night, and we were immersed in Ugandan culture for really the like third or fourth time this whole trip.
This morning we woke up ealry and worked with the A League again. We were there as the children got their new jerseys, and they were so excited! The children were very excited to see us because they thought we returned to the US. We played some more soccer with them, and we helped the children change into their new jerseys. Unfortunately, we had to leave early due to some KSU plans. I also found out my boy Wilson is actually 13, not 9!
After the A League, we had to go to the pharmacy because I have some nasty cough agitating my throat. I think it's just a cough with a combination of bad pollution because otherwise I feel fine.
Following the pharmacy, we picked up our teacher and headed to the Equator! We ate at a small cafe in the Southern Hemisphere before taking our tourist pictures and returning to Kampala.
Margarita and Dr. Peters went to the airport to drop off Dr. UKJ and pick up Margarita's dad who lives in Botswana. In the mean time, the rest of the girls and I went to the craft markets for shopping, of course!
