The awesome singles went to Bushara Island for a weekend away. This island is located in southern Uganda near the Rwanda border. When we arrived at the island there was an orphangage visiting for the day and they did a dance performance. The last song that they performed was a simple song in English with funny motions, so they asked everyone to participate. It was a lot of fun.
On of the days we traveled by boat to another island where we were going to go to a well known market but instead we were led to a pygmi village where another dance performance took place. It was a day of the unexpected but a great adventure.
Below is a picture of the old pygmi man that led the way on our long hike to his village. Keep in mind we had no idea where we were going. How could you not follow such a cute old man though?
Many islanders use these dugout canoes to get from one island to the other. Let me tell you they are nothing like our canoes in America. Also, when they say dugout canoes they mean it.
On our way early in the morning to meet our matatu for our 11 hours back home to Bundibugyo.
I couldn't leave this picture out. This is of an island called punishment island. Many years ago they sent unwed pregnant women here to basically die. Pretty sad. I am glad they no longer practice that way of living.
I hope you enjoyed.

Olayo Kim!
I know I haven't been good about keeping in touch with you all in Bundi, but I miss you all and love to read up on everyone's blogs. Keep pressing on through the teaching struggles, homesickness, rainy days, sweaty days, unwanted housepets, pot holes and language barriers! Its beautiful to see you all being a part of the restoration of the kingdom amongst the wonderful people there.
Much love,
Meredith
