The ultimate balancing act: eggs on a pikipiki

The funniest part of the day was carrying 12 eggs that I bought at the market around all evening in a plastic bag. I thought for sure that I would knock them on something and break at least one. Especially during the pikipiki (motorcycle) ride. (Motorcycles are the cheapest form of taxi in Bukoba.) I had a bag of groceries and my purse on one shoulder, the bag of eggs gripped tightly in one hand, with the other hand holding the pikipiki behind me so that I wouldn't fall off! Quite the balancing act. Amazingly enough, they all made it back safe and sound.
