Ugandan Coffee Authority

**(scroll down for English version)**

Stamattina io e Friday abbiamo accompagnato i due rappresentanti dell’Ugandan Coffee Authority ai campi per ispezionare le piante di caffè.

All’inizio il clima tra noi era abbastanza freddo, poi le lunghe scarpinate su e giù per le montagne hanno reso meno pesante l’atmosfera, specialmente quando uno di loro mi fa: “Madame Michelle, per oggi abbiamo finito continuiamo domani!”
Ero talmente esausta, con i muscoli delle gambe a pezzi che dalla felicità ho urlato, saltellando lungo il sentiero: “evvaiiii finalmente si mangiaaaaa!!”

La loro reazione è stata meravigliosa.. hanno cominciato a ridere, a battermi il cinque..improvvisamente eravamo diventati grandi amici!!!

“Ao…’a sapello facevo ‘a scema da prima”!

This morning I went with Friday and two Ugandan Coffee Authority representatives to the fields to inspect the coffee plants.

At first, I felt quite distant from them, but during the long walk up and down the mountains made the atmosphere more “breathable”, especially when one of them told me: “Madame Michelle, that’s it for today, we will finish tomorrow!”

I was so exhausted, with the muscles of my legs so tense, that I shouted from happiness, leaping along the path: “Yeeeeeah we can finally eat!!!”

Their reaction was wonderful, they started to laugh, raising their hands for a high five… and suddenly we became friends!!!

I thought to myself, “if I know this would work I would have acted silly from the beginning!”
