We celebrated Anne’s 25th birthday by heading to
Fort Portal town with one of the seminarians, Leonard. After stopping for a
Valentine’s Day/birthday social with the Fort Portal Sisters complete with
cake, heart shaped cookies, and drinks we went out to eat at Gardens Restaurant
in town. We enjoyed good food and conversation until late in the night. The
next day we went to yoga- yes yoga in Africa! Okay so it was run by an American
volunteer, but still to be doing yoga outside in Africa made me feel like I was
back in America. Well, except for the fact that there were three Africans and a
Sister surrounding me in African wear (not your traditional spandex pants and dri-fit
tank top outfit) while we did breathing and stretching exercises. After an
active morning of yoga and running Leonard, Anne, and I went to Lake Saka to
take a boat ride and go swimming. It was quiet the relaxing afternoon and just
what we needed. Upon our return to Kyarusozi we found the Sisters had decorated
the house with flowers and birthday signs and a feast of food and cold drinks
were on the table in preparation to celebrate Anne’s birthday. All in all it
was a festive, happy, and relaxing weekend celebrating the birth of Anne.
