The Easter Escapade!!

First I am apologizing for not having written in a long time sorry to all (from the bottom of my heart). So anyway Just the latest of what has been happening in my life, I was whisked off the village for the easter season and i really did not want to go mainly because i had so much work on my mind i was not comfortable leaving it to relax!! That's me... my brain just cant seem to stop working until the work is done. Plus a few other plans i had made (but that is a by the way.






So anyway when we finally get to the village i totally forgot my worries when I looked up in the sky and my Jaw dropped!! the sky was shinning like seriously shining with sooo many stars. A sight that i have not enjoyed in a long time and that melted me from the start.






The days to follow were filled with events and that was fun and to top it off we had a family re-union of sorts when my Aunt had a thanksgiving party. Most of the large family was there and i was thinking to myself how will all these people fit in our wedding reception (Oh yeah we set a date... another blog to write next time).






when we got home some of the cousins and aunties came back with us and we had a crazy fun photoshoot... too bad the pics are not yet downloaded but will download them soon. So watch our for that too.






After all the fun and noise that night I wanted to come back to work since the holiday was over and luckily my sisters were planning to come back and that was a bonus for me.





I managed to convince my dad (By Force!) that i should be heading back to the city. Well werent we in for a ride!! the only available means of transport were old version coronas that are not even used in Kampala anymore by the taxi guys. we call them "specials" but then these were like the ones that were used in 1993. so anyway these cars seat four people that is three at the back and one passenger at the front plus the driver.





After getting the cost of the ride, the four of us seat only to be told that the driver is waiting for two more passengers!!! and we looked at him asking where will they seat!! He then goes on to explain how one will seat at the back to make four and the other will seat at the front between the passenger seat and the driver's seat!! Kinda difficult to explain. so we finally get the six people and as you can imagine we are squashed!!





So he takes us only half way the journey to where we can find real taxis. We then have to change specials to another one. this one was worse than the first one. Instead of six people being in the car we were eight!!! It kinda looked something like this... ok not as bad. Bet you get the picture though.







Finally we made it to the next stop where we could sit like normal people and head to the city. However it uncomfortable it was, i loved the whole experience.


Happy day people!!!
