Back to Lake Mburo.
I drove the PATH team for a district-wide dissemination meeting in Mbarara, a city about 4 hours south of Kampala. We left for the meeting on Independance Day. Aside from doing the drive there and back alone, dodging potholes and broken down trucks parked in the road and night - with no lights on! - I also took the guys on a game drive through the Lake Mburo National Park.
I was a big hit with the school kids - for some reason, they like taking photos with foreigners.

Scott would have preferred that we kept our distance!

I was looking forward to watching some TV in the hotel - maybe catching up on the local news and entertainment. Big Brother Africa was playing on ALL channels, though. Does TV get any more boring that watching people sleep? Who actually tunes into this show?
We had pretty good turn out for the meeting from District Health and Education representatives. Dissemination trips to the three other research districts should be coming up soon.
