Bushenyi





This “town” has one main road with a handful of run-down shops and a few clothing stores. Peter showed me all the good places to shop, and the vegetable market. He bartered for twenty minutes for a pair of trainers. They finally settled on 15,000 shs (about $7.50) after he walked out, saying he wasn’t a tourist but a “local” and wasn’t going to pay 20,000! Lunch is often a two hour affair at a local hut in town that serves excellent chicken sandwiches (for about $2.00) and Nile Special beer (for about $1.00).

Some photos of my house and street, and my first African bird sighting. The guy in the picture is Moses, who runs the butcher shop. He's very sweet and helpful.
