Today is Sherie's last full day in Uganda as she flies home tomorrow. She had some shopping to do, so I tagged along to enjoy the company of her and Halima, our friend and guide from AFC. After shopping, Sherie had an appointment to get her hair done. I won't spoil the surprise for her family and friends; just note that she looks amazing.
Halima was introduced to Ethiopian cuisine for dinner. Although many spices and herbs grow in Uganda, they are not widely used. Ethiopian meals do use spices and the tastes were strange to her. Sherie and I were happily munching away on injera, lentils, cabbage, goat and other items and Halima was amazed to see us so content. It was as if we were on the cereal commercial that says, "Give it to Mikey. Mikey will eat anything."
Back to the field tomorrow for me and to Eugene via Amsterdam for Sherie.

Can we have some goat when you get back?
Karen Brock says to Jack - goats are pets - bought only to lay around, consume loads of alfalfa and jump out of the pen, especially in the dark, and certainly when it is snowing like the other night. I can't conceive of what a new do from Uganda might look like- when I bought bifocals in Vietnam, I was shocked at the the frames they insisted looked great on me. Of course I did not really know what they looked like until after I got home with them......
Cool! Katie, we can get a goat from Karen. Of course, to avoid hurting her obvious feelings for her pets, we'll have to wait until one jumps out of the pen in the middle of the night.
