Pam's house

This is Pam's house from the front.  After breakfast I was too excited to wait for everyone to get dressed and ready, so I went for a wander around the local area.  Theoretically I aimed to walk in a square, and thus not get lost.  Those of you who know me well will be suspecting you know the end of this story... but wait!  

Here are some photos of my little trip out:

You can see it was still cloudy, but the sun is coming and going.  The rainy season started literally a few days before I arrived, so we are dodging the rain somewhat, but I can tell you that whenever it is sunny I am outside!!



I found what I thought was Tubakunde House...luckily I didn't hang around too long trying to look in the window, as I found out later I had misjudged it by one, and was looking at the house next door!!  I am planning to go back soon and find Kazu - he has been the guard ever since 2007 when I was first here, and althought he spoke no English beyond "Hello Emma" we somehow found plenty of ways to communicate, and he taught me lots of Kinyarwandan by pointing at things and repeating the word slowly for me!

OK, ok... the end of the story. I did get lost.  I was just thinking that it would have been sensible to have noted the name of the school opposite Pam's house, and possibly even her address in case of emergency, but I had done neither of those things.  I was about to get my phone out and attempt to explain to Pam where I was (those of you who have followed this story from the beginning will know that she is deaf, and really needs to be able to lip read to understand easily...so a phone description from me telling her I didn't know where I was would not have been the most straight-forward thing!!!)  Just as I was about to dial, I found myself back at the house!  Haha...the magic of Africa.
