| Namonyonyi Synagogue - after |
The joy of simply getting to eat lunch in someone's living room in the middle of Africa is impossible to explain and completely hit the spot. The afternoon seemed to fly by after lunch. Simultaneously the entire team painted the inside walls cream and accents/doors vibrant blue while sporadic drumming, singing, and dancing kept the entire mood lively. We left for the hike back up to Nabagoye tired with the shul looking wonderful and plenty of good memories including seeing some circumcision parties - more to come on those.

| Lunch at Atelia's house |
To cap off a great day and all of 2012 we followed our good friend Rachman's suggestion and attend a hip hop concert in the neighboring town of Mbale featuring a prominent Ugandan rapper, BB Cool. The concert was outdoors and apart from no more than 5 other Muzungu (white people) we were fully integrated into the nightlife of Uganda. Adele even started a friendly conversation (shocking, I know) with what we would soon figure out was the saxophone player of the next act! We rang in 2013 a full 8 hours before the ball dropped in NYC with many fireworks and bonfires in the villages along our route home. A New Years Eve that with out a doubt was unique, truly Ugandan, and one that none of us will ever forget. Happy 2013 all!
