One Entebbe market is in an area called Kitoro, pronounced in the local dialect [chitoro] with a 'ch' and a rolled 'r'. Other tribal groups would pronounce it with a hard 'k', but here it has a 'ch' sound.
Learning this dialect detail today from Tom at the JGI helped me to understand why the woman in the airport's lost luggage depart kept confirming that my Yamaha keyboard was stuck in 'Chigali', Rwanda. Of course, you geography buffs know that she meant the capital city, Kigali. I hope to retrieve that precious box sometime tomorrow.
My friend and teaching partner, Ashley, arrived safely last night, and we took a log walk this morning. One helpful man named Isaac showed us to Kitoro and this is some of what we saw:

I have a sore throat and hardly a voice. After only 12 hours sleep in a 75 hour period (Monday morning to Friday night, minus 9 hours time difference), my body is temporarily shutting down. Good thing tomorrow is Sunday - a day of rest.
