I've made friends with a nurse (Bobby) in the operating theater at CURE. We gym together and hang out on the weekends. This past weekend, he invited me to visit his home village in Soroti. A two hour minibus ride, then a 20 minute boda boda ride (motorbike taxi) and we arrived. His family prepared a massive meal of goat and fish with sides. Probably my favorite part of the village is the massive amount of kids. I made friends with about 25 kids while the family had a meeting to discuss some things. We also saw a python being killed by a couple guys that stumbled across it while digging. Great day, it's been a while since I visited the bush. The family gave me a live chicken as we were leaving which I fried and enjoyed the following day. I caught the sunset on the way back to the main road as we were heading home. It's one of those moments where I have to pinch myself. Things seem surreal so many times here that I sometimes have to take a deep breath and remember....
