Hey all, I hope you enjoy some photos of the place where Drew and I currently live!
This is the front of the house, Drew is demonstrating how taking off your shoes before entering the house is a must.
The Front Door
They used to have a horse, and this is where it stayed, but I guess it died awhile back. Though this shack is no longer standing as it was torn apart in a massive storm we had a few days ago.
Rain-catcher. Pretty much the family's only source of water, though I've been told it has yet to run out.
Another shack in the back, which all sorts of things are stored, including wood for cooking.
Latrines!
Welcome to the toilets of Africa.
What you see here, is the classic basin, used for a wide-variety of things including washing clothes, bathing, and oh so much more. They are everywhere, and pretty much everyone uses them. Kinda like those white plastic chairs...
These are the 2 rooms directly behind our house, which our momma rents out. One of the tenants is a boda-boda driver (reckless motorcycle taxi).
Heh, our brother David knocking down some massive Jack Fruit (nastiest/smelliest fruit ever).
Kitchen table. Those flasks you see...they do a crazy awesome job at keeping water hot for a long period of time.
Kitchen sink...kinda...no running water, so that makes things interesting. Notice the green basin, told you they were used for everything.
The family cat, Max. He is ridiculous. Always scratching and biting your ankles...makes me miss my cat...a lot.
The Sitting Room. Notice the computer monitor...yeah, that's the tv. Horrendous soap operas are often playing on that thing at night.
No Mukono home is complete without a picture of the Kabaka (king for those who haven't been reading).
My bed, veiled in my life-saving/incredibly-annoying mosquito net.
