Brown Water

So, I am staying at my friend Wendy’s place while she is on vacation.  It is really homey and feels just  like an apartment in the US.  She has a good collection of movies (no cable) and good internet too.  However, today the water went off for a few hours.  I thought maybe the water tank was empty, but when I returned from the gym, the water was running again.  I decided to make a salad so I turned on the water to rinse the lettuce, my tomatoes, and onions.  I then put some italian dressing on it and enjoyed it with my pasta.  Shortly there after I was washing my hands and noticed a tint in the water.  Sure enough, the water was brown.  Needless to say, tonight should be interesting.

Eric, my MBA co-worker left today.  He is going back to the States for five days and then going to Pakistan to be the finance director for a project with an NGO from France.  He will be second-in-command of a country organization with 400 employees and in charge of a $15 million budget.  I could tell he was excited and I am excited for him.  I wanted to get a goodbye picture but when I turned on my camera, the battery was dead.

Eric’s departure made me realize that I have only a little more time in Angola.  I am going to try to make the most of it.  I am really excited to come home.  I have stuff planned for just about every weekend during first 2 and half months. This is good, considering I will be unemployed and probably bored.
