Sunday Afternoon Stroll

Yesterday we went for a nice Sunday afternoon walk. This has a much different definition in Kampala than at home.
Number one it is always hot here.
Number two everything is uphill.
Number three (and this is no different than home) we are in constant competition with each other so the walks are always “power walks”, never leisurely strolls.
All of the above makes for very sweaty walks.
Some friends are doing a half marathon at the end of November. One is running and the other two are walking…I am still thinking about it! I did a half marathon walk in Regina once (9 years ago). If you are unfamiliar with the terrain in Regina, look at the desk that your computer is sitting on- that is Regina. Kampala, however has hills everywhere! We will see how it goes. Fortunately one does not need to register months in advance here so I still have lots of time to make a decision!
Another thing that is different here than home, we don't see any monkeys when we go for walks at home- only gophers and rabbits!

This is actually a pretty steep hill- even though it doesn't really look that way in this photo

We are standing on top of one of the hills looking across at some of the other hills.
