I had hoped to post a blog yesterday but I had to post it today. Here is why. I needed a phone card but it rained steadily most of the day yesterday and turned our street into a river as you can see from the photo. The boutique that sells the phone cards which I need to have in order to load money onto my Internet account from my mobile phone is on the other side of the street from where I am living. The family I am staying with is in the car with the headlights on at the end of the block in the photo. They had gone into town to the airport to retrieve a colleague from Goma who had just arrived in Bujumbura for a conference. I walked down to meet them and we went out to a great East Indian restaurant that opened two months ago in Bujumbura. LOVED it! I felt like I had had a bit of a vacation or something. The ambiance was peaceful, the company great, the waiters constantly attended to our needs, and the food was awesome. It’s a short blog today as I have a lot of work to do and the electricity was not working earlier today.

Suz,
I finally got a chance to read through your latest posts,
amazing, deep, profound and entertaining.
As you said you were searching for the balance, sure your writing
reflects it.
Take care,

Thanks, my dear. Nothing much to say today. I am working at home and trying to finish some documents before Bridget and I head off to Uvira on Monday for 2 days.
peace to you and all reading,
