Today was very successful. We met up at 9 am and headed over to Ntinda at about 10 am. At Ntinda we spent some time at Hardware World, buying all of the tools that we bought at Home Depot at home that are stuck in the crate. We dropped those tools off at Angela's house, and headed off to Kampala.
We had lunch and then met up with Emmanuel at Ssebegala & Sons to buy the wire, breaker boxes, combiner boxes, etc. Too many people inputting their opinion can just make things harder, so it worked out that Bryan, Shavi, and Emmanuel worked with the Ssebegala & Sons employees, while Angela, Marisa, and Tess sat in the store window and hung out. The process took quite a few hours because they made us custom wire connectors for the batteries, but finally (after a few pieces of cake and a lot of hanging out) all of the wiring pieces were bought, and we headed back to Angela's house.
We had a very good dinner (our last one in Kampala for a while!) and we are now enjoying a relaxing time sitting in Angela's living room. We can't wait to go to the village and get started. I don't know when I'll next be able to blog, but hopefully I will update you soon.
