Muchomo - continued

In Swahili, so I've been told, muchomo is what you call a celebration of finishing something & it always involved roasting meat. So my muchomo was a goat roast - the most common meat here in Kaabong! I got to choose the goat between the two pictured here - but I refused to be present for the slaughter.



Sneaking in for the kill...yeah right

This whole past weekend has been a celebration with various people. On Sunday we went to one of our co-workers, Timat's house and enjoyed the best chicken I've ever had in Uganda! I even ate the gizzard as the honored guest!

    I love the picture of Joanna! Beautiful. And your header is awesome. I also like the pic of you in glasses. Very au naturale and Kaabong... I actually miss braiding my hair and NEVER wearing make up.. I miss it a lot.

    Thinking of you as you transition. Can't wait to talk on the Pone.

    It was a really fun afternoon, and I am glad that we got to celebrate you.
    Hope your flight is safe, and that you will keep updating the blog from exotic US.
