The White House

Our home in Kasese for the duration of our primary teachers' environmental conservation workshop is this lovely traveller's safe zone. There are clean facilities, a kitchen, laundry service and a receptionist named Honesty who took Ted and I to church on Sunday.


My 2nd floor room opens onto the courtyard where clean laundry, scrubbed white tiles and some well-watered plants make for a sweet escape from the very hot and dusty city.


Our view is of the Rwenzori Mountains - famous in Uganda's heyday for extreme trekking? We met a group of South Africans who's tallest and strongest male had slipped off the trail and fallen freely for 15 feet. I noticed a huge gash on his leg, and he said he would take that any day, given the scare he'd had just hours earlier. As for the bricks in this shot, they are made locally and used everywhere for building. This is one of many storage piles.
