I just stopped at the local supermarket on the way home and quite a few people were gathering. I ran into my World Education colleagues Inbal and Pierre in the parking lot who said that they were there to check out “the happening,” sponsored by the Alliance Francaise. A few local musicians were playing and a kid was breakdancing. I thought no more about it and ran into the store.
I emerged from Shoprite and heard Edith Piaf on the loud speakers. Many more people were gathered, but I didn’t want to keep Victor, my driver, waiting. I found Victor but from the corner of my eye saw a giant backhoe moving—and then noticed someone hanging from the backhoe. Not hanging, but dancing. Ballet dancing with a giant backhoe to Edith Piaf.
It was an amazing, uplifting, wonderful little interlude in downtown Kampala.
Love your blog Penelope!
ReplyDeleteI would expect to see something like this on the streets of New York City. Interesting and cool. Thanks Pen.
