Soroti

After a 4 hour long bus ride over a mix of dirt gravel and paved roads we made it to soroti. I found it interesting that the dirt roads were much smoother that the paved, and that most of the time on the paved roads bus seemed to be driving on the shoulder. It is as if the cars here are allergic to cement. It was marvelously hot in soroti and the sun was very powerful. We walke around and got some fruit and ate some lunch. Here most meat you eat is goat ut they don't do anything else with the goat, I asked if they have goat milk and everyone looked discused at the idea. I got to see my friend Rita and that was very nice she has a hurt nee from her 8th boda boda accident. Her house was by the swamp so their was hundreds of bugs that where flying around and when they land on you they dont know what to do they starts scwemming around and look like they have a million legs and horns. When I asked rita if they would hurt you she said no so I swashed them. The boda bodas in Soroti are bicycles which I am excited about, because I think I will get one. I have also finished the training material and went to the market yesterday since I arrived back in kampala on Monday night. A bag of Organic carrots was about 75 cents us and the biggest head of cabbage you've ever seen was 1 dollar. But here things are priced in terms of shillings so it sounds like a lot more. Any way Back to the ministry today to take care of getting the drugs released to us and then to the pharmacy's to try and scrap together 30,000 pregnancy tests for the Move on Malaria.
