Lake Mutanda, Uganda

With only two days of time left, Shann and I headed to Lake Mutanda in the very southwest corner of Uganda. It was a nice motorcycle ride to a school by the lake and then a short walk for some much needed R&R. We ate pumpkin, swam, and played cards. Chill spot.

Whilst departing for Entebbe and home, I asked Shannon to hold my things so I could go interject in the soccer game being played by some unsuspecting school children. I ran after the ball and easily stole it from the first child, but the soccer ball was made of garbage bags and the grass was extremely wet. This surprised me and threw me off guard - I quickly tripped over myself and the ball and went sprawling forward. The whole school laughed uproariously and everybody simultaneously swarmed the field. The soccer game went from ten players to fifty, and Shannon was mauled by more than a hundred school children wanting to shake her hand. Eventually we ran out of the school away with giggling children buzzing around us like flies. Good memory.

I thought I'd let you all in on the drama of our rummie game. The graph has lost the time component as our data collection wasn't mindful of visualizations. Must be rusty. But as you can see - 'twas still epic.
