We've Upgraded! (From Goats to Cows)

So it was a little warm out there today. We spent about 4 hours on the field and were getting roasted, I can't imagine what 12 hours on Saturday will be like. Clouds without rain will be a wonderful thing.

We have part of a fence and the rest appears to be going well! We also had cows grazing and the goats were still around too. Someone had the bright idea that maybe we could put sandwich boards on them and use them for advertising.

So it's Tuesday and I guess we have 10,000 people registered already. The rumor is that we might have 30,000 college kids inside the perimeter and up to another extremely large group of non-college folks around the outside. You have to show a college ID to get in and we're thinking me might have a crowd control issue. I guess Ugandans don't handle queues too well and sometimes just form a human spear at the point of entry and shove. They also tend to not want to show-up until right when the event starts. We're thinking a crossing guard type with white gloves a red stop sign isn't going to cut it, so we're going to need to work some major crowd control magic.

Lunch was interesting, pizza served in chicken boxes. They were labled veggie, chicken, beef and meat. We didn't really know what "meat" was. Food here is interesting and it's really about psychology. If you order something "american" and expect it to taste like back home, you'll probably be disappointed. If you go with the local stuff with little to no expectations, it'll probably be good.

Went to the local market and, like a Monty Python movie, You Have to Haggle! Got some pretty cool stuff, but since some of you reading this blog will be getting some of it I'll just keep that to myself for now.
