Today we wake up and have our breakfast at the Nile River Explorers again. We were supposed to head back to Bududa today but our plans changed and we head to Kampala to visit Patrick Matsunga and deliver some papers to him. He is the owner of the school’s land and our biggest focus right now is getting him to sign papers so we can be sure that the land will not be taken from us. He is a good man who is focused on bettering Africa but he has an awful case of diabetes and is completely wheelchair bound. His life in Africa seems to have made him a little pessimistic though. When we tell him how we love the country he can’t believe it and explains that no one should love a place with so many problems. I guess when you face as many heartbreaks as he has your outlook on life isn’t so great. We spend the rest of our time in Kampala souvenir shopping and eating good American food (Kampala is pretty Americanized and has a big city feel to it.) We also went to a grocery store where I was able to finally get some food I would buy back home. I promised Mary I would cook dinner one night and I get everything I need for it. After grocery shopping we meet up with Mrs. Wybar’s friend David, who does a lot of good work around Kampala for dinner. After having some very good Italian food we headed to our hotel and called it a night.
