after a couple of days we got out of kampala. we were on our way to bwindi which is in the west towards the D.R. congo and rwanda borders. our driver picked us up at 6:30 in the morning and i slept most of the way but when i was awake i managed to take a few photos. here’s one of the many trucks carrying green bananas or “matoke,” the staple food of uganda. they eat them boiled, mashed, served with peanut sauce, roasted, etc.

you’re right. they’re plantains. but the locals don’t call them “plantains.” they call ‘em “green bananas.”
you’re also right about Africa. it totally rocks.
