Day 3 - Kampala Downtown

After a hearty breakfast Sue took us for a tour of the downtown markets. We have been invited to a formal event on Saturday - one of cousins is getting married and the man's family is presenting him to Sue's (the girl's side) to see if he is worthy. I am required to wear a long shirt (dress) and Chris has to get a formal outfit. Sue called her sister's and away we went shopping. We might as well have been on a leash as we had know idea where we were but never strayed from Sue's side. We saw the areas of Kampala that were the major trading markets and stops the importers made on the way to the Sudan etc. Quite an experience and we realized if you have the right connections you could get anything here.  After our several hour tour Jackson started us on our way to Luweero. A stop at another cousins to pick up some items and were off. Except not with any speed as you have to negotiate, cars buses, motorcycles pedestrians and the occasional goat in rush hour. The 417 is a dream any time of the day. Once we arrived at the library we saw the start of the conversions, new paint, floors repaired and the work continuing. The Maama Watali girls cooked us a great traditional meal and we met the young kids. Across the street the movie house was playing an outdoor movie that the owner translated from English to Uganda and apparently not always accurately. We headed to our guest house and called it a day.
