These are some of our favorite meanderings around town photos.  We go shopping at a market and driving on unfamiliar roads but mostly we take pictures in the morning when we are walking for exercise.

These birds are 3 feet tall.  The building they are on is three stories tall so you don't really get the perspective of how huge they are.  They hang out on the hotels along the Nile

This women and her little boy are always out in the morning cooking chapati. Chapati is a bread similar to a thick tortea.  It is just flour and water and is rolled out & cooked over a briquet fire.  Sometimes the stove is a tire rim on legs.
Chipati is used much like we do in a breakfast burrito.  The Chipati would have a mixture such as gravy, vegetables and liver in the center.    She didn't want me to take her picture.

Another roadside market along our walking route.  Circle K maybe?

Most are friendly and will talk to you.

Rand and I have a ritual.  We walk out to the truck to get in then trade places.   We're not very fast learners and still think we should be driving on the other side of the vehicle.  The bag Deirdre made me goes everywhere.  I keep it on the floor so it won't tempt anyone to steel it.  South Africa is especially bad that way.  They will break your window and grab what you have before you know what happened.

Downtown Jinja, these men can always be found playing mancula.  I made something similar one year for Christmas.  I never dreamed at the time that I would go to Africa and see them playing the game.

This is a big bumpy fruit that we haven't tried yet.  The saleswoman or man will sit there and cut them up for you to buy a slice.  They also cut up pineapple similarly

Can you smell the dry tilapia?  Rand took this picture at the market in Jinja and it really smells fishy

Julie with her bag of goods.  Sister Ballstaedt hires someone to go to market for her.  I may get around to doing that.  It is especially messy when it is rainy.  The ground is very uneven and slippery

Sister Crayk showing us some pretty fancy woodwork.  They will do custom  pieces for you and we've seen some amazing things done by hand carving.

Rand is always trying to get a photo of the long horn cows.  Our first souvenir was a cow horn painted to look like a bird.  It has coasters for wings.  I need to send a picture to Uncle James.  He is the family bird specialist. 

There is a cow stall behind this studio.  Not sure what they do in the studio but it can't be too much.  The road is a cow trail leading up to it.  We chuckle every time we pass it.

I love the babies carried on their mother's backs.  Most of the babies are asleep in fabric wrapped to keep them there.  This one, odiously not.
