Siesta

Women's Day today. Usually it means flowers, perhaps a day of pampering, maybe an extra compliment or two. But who would have thought that the whole country stopped up almost entirely to observe this day?
 
Women's Day is a public holiday in Uganda, it seems. Hey, I'm not complaining about the practice. It would just have been nice to know about it before waking up early in the morning today and going to the hospital, and finding out that there was nothing for us to do.
 
Not to mention, this is one more day we could have had in Jinja. Assuming that it's safe to say this now: damn, had I only been in Jinja today, I am positive that I would have gone bungee jumping. What a pity.
