Olyotya Uganda

Luganda is a major language  in Uganda.  The folks at the Real Uganda have passed along a few words and phrases, 
Olyotya, pronounced ol-lee-o-tee-uh (really fast) means "how are you?"
Olyotya Uganda? is the question I seem to be asking myself as I prepare for this trip.  Not just how are you, but what are    you? And where might I fit in? 

Matooke is a staple food, basically a green banana. I understand I'll be eating a lot of matooke. Don't I always complain     there aren't enough good ethnic restaurants on the Cod?  Matooke, here I come.....

What I'm Leaving Behind....




28 February is fast approaching which is making me appreciate all that I'm leaving behind on the Cod....
the 0700 Black Beach Walk
the project "next door"
and most importantly, my favorite boys
