Two Weeks Today

This is the view to the right from my veranda which faces west. I sit and watch the sunset.
This is the view towards the left. So now you see my skyline. The sky is almost always hazy and overcast. Alot of clouds now because of the rainy season, but also a lot of smoke, dust, and general smog.
My first Sunday here in the evening Abbe Oswald, Director of Caritas Goma, and I went to the home of his Aunt and Uncle. They wanted to give me a family welcome. We celebrated with a bottle of wine and good food. This is a photo i snapped as I was being driven from the UNWFP Headquarters. Thought you would to see the way people go shopping for everything from food to kleenex.
These are piles of Corn that has been ground into differing sizes. They are put in piles on tarps and you can buy as much as you like.
Well, that is a flash view of what you see as you ride through the streets of Goma. People everywhere and everyone on the go. Love to talk to you later, but now it is quitting time and everyone is leaving the offices. I feel obliged to do the same. Hope to do this again tomorrow. I have some more photos to show.
