A Day at the Lake

Sometimes weekends here can get a little boring.  So, we decided to go to the lake to spice things up a bit. 

Lake Nabugabu is a small lake about a half hour away from where we live.  We rode out with Deo and Ronald who spent the day there with us.  It was a very dusty ride and by the time we got there, Amy and I had dirt masks around where our sunglasses had been. 

The beach area is called “Sand Beach.”  I didn’t see much sand, but sand gets everywhere, and isn’t really my favorite, so I was quite happy with the grass.  It is so beautiful there!  They had swings made out of tires, wooden beach chairs, and lots of nice shade trees.  Deo showed us the coconut tree, which is actually a miniature coconut tree that has nuts that taste like coconuts.  He picked some for us.  The fruit is orange and kind of tastes like an avocado.  There is a pit inside that you crack open with a rock to unveil the little coconut nut!  They were pretty tasty, but mostly just really cool to try. 

We just lay on the grass and relaxed for a while, Amy and I tried to gain some sort of tan.  The Rowes joined us around 2:00.  It was a lot fun to hang out with them.  We got in and enjoyed the water, which was nice and warm.  It doesn’t look like I got any leeches, so that is good news! 

For lunch I got some fish and chips.  The fish is caught right out of the lake, so it is very fresh and delicious, even with the head and all of the bones in tact!   

It turned out to be a very fun, nice, and relaxing day.  I think we might go back again soon.
