Been a very busy and interesting couple of days. We've gone for long periods of time without electricity, had a generator catch fire, mangaged to repair not one but two generators, and effect those repairs in such a way that it would make even McGyver blush.
We've also had fun. The kids have really enjoyed playing around their home and at the Welcome Center. And, they were very glad to go to town yesterday. We noticed a few things that were different. One obvious thing was the price of diesel and gasoline. It is just about half the price it was last year at this time. Apparently a new refinery just went on line. I'm sure everyone is glad about the price. What they're not so happy about is the general lack of either diesel or gasoline. Soon the supply will catch up to demand as the refinery reaches its production limit.
We are all healthy although more than a few of us have lost some weight since we arrived. We have thus started on our Chadian diet again.
More later.
