Day in Kampala

Kampala is the capital city of Uganda. Here is where we can find the most modern supermarkets and stores that more resemble what we are used to in the States. We had to go there yesterday to pay a solar company to come and look at our solar and help us to get it working correctly. This past week has been hot at night without fans working, and the few groceries I had gotten have spoiled. I have to get used to not being able to grocery shop for the week (actually, at home I shopped for the month so it is a BIG difference to get used to!) We went to a big supermarket to get somethings that don’t need refrigeration but that we can’t find close to home. Sometimes the traffic is so bad it has taken us 6 hours to get home from Kampala, and it is only about 80 miles away!

Craftmanship on Metal Works, Furniture, and Wood is very well done. Just stop along the road when you see what you like!

Many people walk up and down the road selling their wares to the backed up traffic!

2 Million people live in Kampala, I imagine 1 million motorcycles are here!

Just about anything will be loaded on a bike or motorcycle – “boda-boda”

Fancy Couches and Chairs can be found everywhere. The trick is finding solid color furnishings!
