I learned something new today... turns out all of the names of the lion king characters are words in swahili. Mallory told us and we verified with David (our night guard) so i'm pretty sure it is true :) Get ready for your mind to be blown-
simba- lion
rafiki- friend
zazoo- parent
mufasa- king
Apparently the jungle book is all names in hindi... coolest thing ever....
Today was Josh's birthday so we went to Mbale Resort and went swimming. We convinced David to come with us even though he was adamant that he didn't know how to swim and was scared of the water.... We gave him some swimming lessons and it was so much fun. He was terrified but there was all of us mzungu girls surrounding him holding him up. After swimming there was the biggest rainstorm since we have been here- it was ridiculous! There was hail!! Super loud and super cold... our house flooded a bit. Part of our payment for swimming included a shower. I have never been more appreciative of a shower. It was so great.
We went into town with our new friend Yasim and Aaron- they are debatably between ages 15-18 (they go back and forth on the right age... i tend to think it's closer to 15...) They took us to the market and helped us get fair prices on the food we were buying. The streets are so crazy. Indescribable. The market is so chaotic and lively. There is food everywhere- all over the ground- everyone trying to get you to buy their stuff. We got our first street food today - a rolex- and score i'm not dead! didn't even get sick.
