We are nicely tucked into our hotel in Bukavu, DR Congo. It's raining outside - as is likely to happen during rainy season (Sept-April), and all I need is a cup of tea to help me wake up from my jet lag-induced nap.
A gal I mostly knew of in college has a great blog that I read occasionally. Last week, I found she was writing a series on transitions. I have been touched an encouraged by reading it and cried some tears while doing so. If you're interested, you can find it here.
Our new co-workers here have been really generous with their time and helpful in answering a lot of questions and showing us around. I'm really happy that we got to go to an open-air market today! Our house isn't ready until Monday, so we're not buying all that we need for settling in yet, but it's good to see what's available.
We also had really delicious Indian food for lunch and got my cell phone set up.
I've been trying to find information for a local church, but there's not much online and we don't have much "social capital" built up yet, so I don't know if we'll go tomorrow or just try to sleep off the jet lag.
