Nyakayanja

I spent two days visiting Aggrey's village home. We walked every where and talked with everyone. When ever you enter someone's house you get food and drink. It is custom. Lot's of eating and drinking boiled milk that day. Another thing is Joseph is Aggrey's son and I told him I like chapati which is basically Indian Fry bread. He cooks for us when we are in Kayanga. Well he has made chapati the last three meals. When you enter someones house it is also common to receive coffee beans because the coffee is special here. I think clean water is the biggest concern here. Good thing there is a lot of ran and I do see a fair amount of rain barrels. Holy week starts today. So everyone is on holiday until monday.
 My bed has Heman sheets. I'm wondering if this is older than my return of the Jedi sheets
 This is a coffee bean tree. I forgot the type but this is there main cash crop in this region.
 This man's father passed away at the age of 93 he said. We gave our condolences. Coffee beans are on the table for welcoming any incoming visitors
 This is Aggrey and his mother. She is 80 years old and is very active in the field.
Aggrey has 14 cows. He has a family history of raising cattle. Each cattle is worth between $200-300 USD. I notice all the animals here are free range which I think is great.
