Juba = busy place

Crazy day yesterday. I made it from 7 am to 12:30 am - must be a record across the board. We had new staff, interviewees, donors, consultants and 2 visitors from HQ in addition to normal operations. While it wasn't the craziest day ever, it probably ranks right up there. Spent most of the day at the office, but did make a jaunt out through town in the afternoon and then in the evening we ate at the buffet of one of 80 permanent camps here in town. Yes, 80. Housing expats is big business here apparently. Most camps consist of tents with tile floors, showers and other amenitities that are hardly "camping".

We are up early in order to make our flight to Wau today. We'll drive up to Kuajok and visit our programs and staff there. Lots more to say, but I'll hold it for another day when there is more time.
