Last day with Daniel

Daniel's last day continued with super speed transition of tasks. Thankfully we had time for a quick lunch again in the cafeteria. It's really a nice area in the new Embassy. Although I miss going to dowtown Kigali for lunch everyday which provided nice interaction with the community, this new area encourages interaction with team members. George the chef likes to try his hand at various American food as well as Rwandan options. There is a buffet with typical Rwandan fare, as well as a "special" which is "American style" like tenderloin and mashed potatoes today or tacos yesterday. Also you can order hamburgers or salads and choose fresh juices. Amazing!
Here we are in the cafeteria...


David and I drove Daniel home so that we can keep and use his car while he is away. He offered us a quick snack of homeade ice cream and strawberries from the garden. Yum!


Most US Government employees here long-term (1-2 years) are placed in really nice homes. (In fact I attended a housing board meeting today and learned more than I wanted to know about how they are slected and managed!) Daniel's home is no exception. He has a really nice house. Here are some photos of his orchids he brought from Thailand, Congolese artwork, and his living room.

I went to a fun dinner party at Mahita's house tonight. (I forgot my camera though!) I made some new friends, and am now considering plans to travel to Uganda over the 4th of July weekend. Yay!
