Arrival at MUBFS

When we were talking last night, we thought that we would basically just drive to the field station and spend the rest of the day getting settled in. We woke up really early and had some fruit and banana muffins for breakfast, and Kayla and I packed some banana muffins for later because we’re obsessed. When we got in the car we listened to music and slept and were pretty anti-social for a while because it was so early, but I spent most of the time looking out the window. We passed through some towns and villages, and some smaller clusters of houses. Everyone was really friendly and waved at us and the country is really beautiful. When we got to the field station we were greeted by some of the teachers who are all really nice and were very welcoming. We had lunch and then we walked to Knyawara Primary school, which is down the road from where we’re staying. We met some of the kids, and saw the chimpanzee masks they were making, which are really, really impressive. We played volleyball, and the kids from the school were really good. I wasn’t. On the way back, we walked with a few students from the school who were on their way home. They sang the alphabet and we all played catch. Back at the field station we rested for a while, then had dinner and sorted colored pencils into bags with one light and two dark colored pencils, so we can bring them to the schools. Now we’re all getting ready for bed, because tomorrow we have the big welcome ceremony at Kasiisi.
