Ah, Uganda ...

 This pix is courtesy of Eric, who went kayaking on the Nile and on the way back saw this sign. So what the heck is going on here? Fortunately we have our native guide, Asia, to tell us. But she says she has no idea. Except that she thinks there is a theory that you can avoid HIV better by not having sex in the morning. We'll let you know if we hear the real story. In the meantime, the sign stands. Uganda is not shy about its sexuality messaging.

Eric brought a bunch of Asia's nieces and nephews to the Salama Springs pool while we were on Lamu. Sorry we missed it; it looks like fun!

Tonight we hung up some Christmas lights on our little shelves and played U2 singing Beautiful Day, and someone else singing If I Had a Milllion Dollars ... our form of Christmas carols. You wouldn't really know it's Christmas time here. A few stores have some forlorn plastic trees, and they play these really cheesy carols that drive you out the doors. Otherwise, it's all sun and tank tops and fig trees. Christmas means more about going home to your village - which we plan to do in less than two weeks! Queen Anne village, here we come!
