Kampala - Day 2

Spent the entire day in a meeting with the finance staff (Juliana - Cali, Columbia and Olyn - Washington, DC), Gene, and Benjamin.  Very productive with a PowerPoint jointly developed for presentation to both Wolf and Howdy.  Took a nap from 5:30 to 7:00 pm and then went to an Indian restaurant in the mall attached to the hotel. The food was quite good. Benjamin, who lived in Uganda for several months, educated us on why there are so many Indian restaurants in Uganda.  Those areas of Africa under British colonial rule had large populations of Indians brought in by the British to serve there needs. They formed the second tier of society, below the British and above the native Africans. They remained and dominate the restaurant scene.

Got back to my room after 10:00 pm and fell asleep quickly. So far, I've not had to use any of the sleeping pills I brought along.
