I like mangoes…I hate flies…I especially hate mango flies. Let me tell you about them, as I just learned of them today. They are a small fly that lays eggs in your laundry if you leave it out past about 4:30 p.m., then the egg warms on your body the next time you wear your clothes, hatches, burrows in and grows a 2 inch worm inside you. We left our clothes out overnight last night because they weren’t dry…oh joy. So, if you iron the clothes well, it should kill the fly eggs. We went out last night and bought an iron. I felt funny ironing my underwear…but hey!
Yesterday we made progress on securing a location for the coffee shop, please pray that things work out. Today we are headed into Kampala to begin looking for equipment, we are also going to talk to another fish hatchery and see about buying an air pump and 55-gallon drum. Everything happens SO much slower here. If anything, that is the hardest part for me. I don’t like to wait around, I’m a get in there and get it done kind of person. That’s not the African way. It’s more like a slow dance ( I would equate it to country music -not my favorite!), instead of rockin’ to Bryan Adams or Bon Jovi (my style!) So I am trying to learn to slow dance a bit, and learn the lessons that go with the process.
Ciao,
Cheri
