Fortunately we only worked until 3PM today. We hit a roadblock on some network issues. Ivan and I are going to re-convene to tomorrow at 8PM in the office and work with George from Nairobi. Joseph dropped me off at the Just Kickin' sports bar to watch some EPL. It was reminiscent of many many nights at Blue Drops. The first game was a 1-1 draw between Stoke City and West Ham. It did not fail to please muzungu. Then I watched most of Tottenham and the Wolves which ended up 3-1 for the latter.
The bar was OK with large 45 inch LCD screens and lots of them. I had 3 bottles of Bell and a nice mixed BBQ for about $11. The area of town was very busy with street vendors selling mainly DVDs and khaki pants. I picked up a few needed toiletries at the Millennium market and waited for Godwin the cab driver to come get me. He called and said he was stuck in traffic so I cabbed it with one waiting at the plaza where I had watched football. I have been in Kampala a total of ~15 days and this is the first time I really got out ... silly me. Tomorrow AM I will hoof it into town then grab a cab back here.
ManU and Liverpool are playing at 5:30PM so I will probably head back to Just Kickin' for that as well as a dinner. I have spoken to my Sweet Thing a few times. She was interviewed by radio free Europe ... Professor Kronick that is. She is teaching in Montenegro for a few weeks then is off to Budapest, Prague and finally Amsterdam. She had a cucumucca of the 10th degree with her flights. We had double-booked her leg from Frankfurt to Budapest. As soon as we noticed it, I called Travelocity and since the booking was less than 24 hours old, they cancelled it. Well it appears that they cancelled her return flight from Budapest to Montenegro AS WELL AS the flight from Frankfurt to Budapest ... whatever for; that is not what I asked the operator for. I emailed them, not expecting to hear anything back, and will call when I get back home with the cancellation number I was given.
