long day in uganda!

I couldn't sleep last night... So much on my mind! I woke up and Nickie and I went and picked up the woman who was going to plate my hair...
Ha she started at like 8... And it took forever. She didint understand what I wanted and it turned out horrible... I looked like a weird foreign tree... That kind of put me in a spur mood... Because I was so tired. And I had gone through a lot of pain... And looked ridiculous.
Then Nickie and I went out to go shopping... I was just really tired so it wasn't fun at first... But then I got out of my funk and just started having fun!
Going to little individual shops..everything is so so cheap.
So that was fun...
But then we had to go to the Police station for some paper work... Nickie said she would only be a couple of minutes... So I stayed in the car. Something happened and I ended up boiling for like an hour and a half...
Was not fun.
Sweating made me realize how dirty I was... Because you could see dirt in my sweat. It was disgusting.
Then we bought a pizza!! Oh it was so so so good.
We were sitting in the restaurant in the middle of the city and outside there is a tree with birds... About half the size of me sitting in them!! It was a strange sight!
Came home... Spent forever taking the plated hair out... And washed and got ready because we were going to a club!!
We had bought this adorable dress for me! I love it so much!
We ended up going to this concert called stand up and take action... Raising money to fight poverty... That was really cool. Some major people were there...
Felt good to be a part of that. Ha but there was this guy who I am pretty sure was pretty drunk who was dancing really really funny... But he bought us all drinks... Several..and he was really nice. And he became like a security guard ha. I was standing and a girl came up behind me and he slapped her!! Ha he thought she was trying to rob me. Nickie says she prob was... Ha felt good to have my security. But everytime Nickie or her cousin would leave for something he would start telling me how good I looked and he wanted my number and we wanted to give me his shirt shoes car and a hundred dollars... And saying he loved me. Nickie lectured him ha ha it was funny. I felt so safe and protected.
After a while we left there and headed to the club. It was so cool!!! The club was so nice and the decorations were so amazing!the lighting... And the place was huge! So many rooms and floors!!! At first no one was dancing... Nickie her cousin and I kinds started it. Then by the end of the night there were so so so so so many people! I was hoping it wouldn't be like American clubs and it wasn't!! So much cleaner.. When it comes to the dancing. It was just relaxing and fun. Guys have you space... It was weird though... I never feel comfortable dancing in crowds... Here in Africa I feel comfortable everywhere... Especially in uganda... Ha I thought in an African club I would look like a fool... But the girls were following me. Ha what the heck!? I have never in my life gotten told I am a good dancer... App in Africa I am!! Its so funny... They love my legs and hair and feet and Dave and everything here... Maybe that's why I'm comfortable... Gives me a confidence. I think I am just made for Africa though!
And its weird. I guess all white girls in the clubs usually are smoking and drinking so I confused everyone! It was cool... Because you have no idea how many conversations it opened up!! I ended up talking about the lord with several people... I was like this is so cool!! Nickies cousin was so so so protective of me. Ha no one could even step on my feet.
We didn't finish and get home till 4am.
I just conked out when I got back!!
Woke up this morning to breakfast made by Nickie! Aw!! Then nickies gorgeous friend came over and they dressed me up and we went to the zoo!!
It was so fun! It is funny tho... And sad. They live in Africa and had never seen an elephant or a lion or a rhino before... They were so confused! They didn't even know what a donkey is... We had a lot of fun... It was so hot!!!
Then we drove down to the beach!!! Oh so gorgeous! Dirty water but whatever! We waded in the water... And met some fun people and ate the freshest fish you could ever ask for... And listened to music and talked about our lives and about American culture... And so so so many things until the sun started going down. So relaxing and nice! Then back to nickies for sugar cane! I love sugar cane... So much!
Everyday Nickie gives me a new shirt or earrings or something! Its overwhelming!!
I'm going to miss it here!! I leave early in the morning... No more Nickie... No more huston! No more pineapple and sugar cane... No more driving and relaxing and seeing the country. No more uganda. Back to rwanda ... Back to work. Oh how I love my work... And rwanda. But I love it here. The people are more relaxed and accepting... No one stares and everyone seems to work hard.
I feel called here... Ill be back here. I know it.
