Well, no.  It’s not.  But it works for an extravagant title, and I wanted to draw attention to the fact that I’m just about to head there in a couple of hours.  Amongst several building projects, I’ll be looking at food plants that locals might propagate to sell in a road-side stand in a village named Bwagogo in Eastern Uganda.  Hope to be able to post from there!
