Kumi Town

Welcome to Kumi town and the surrounding area. Here are some pictures that took me about an hour to upload. (But please, no pity. OK, you can send a little pity my way). :)

Lush green goodness of the area surrounding Kumi. It really is beautiful. Just avoid the mosquitoes and it is great.


Here are some few shots of Kumi town. I just shot some pictures from the hip while walking around. Do you like the cow walking down the Kumi main street?

A bicycle taxi (far left) and bicycle water carrying technique. Who knew that bicycles could be used for so many things?


Here are some young people making a few shillings by roasting corn at the side of the road. They gave me permission to take the picture... :)



Yummy! Roasted corn. One of my street-vendor favorites! It is really good and really filling. It is about 200 shillings for one of the lightly roasted cobs. The burned ones are 100 shillings (about a dime or something like that).




Opps. This picture isn't actually from Kumi. This is a picture of a intern doctor I worked with in Kampala.



Sorry that this picture is so dark. It was much brighter on my camera. I promise that we were both smiling in the picture... It is of a little girl named Wendy that I met in town today. I was just standing at a shop asking if they had any envelopes and I saw this streak out of my peripheral vision. This little girl had started at a run and touched my hand as fast as she possibly could while passing me at light speed. I gave her a smile and she ran by again to touch my hand. After a few minutes she let me take her picture (I also got permission from Wendy's mother). Then she started to hug me. It was really cute.



Here is another (brighter) picture of Wendy. She is quite the character!
