The last few days kind of just blurred together in the end. I’ll try to piece it all together here, but I lost track of what happened on which day.
On the technology front, the server is installed and working fine, most of the laptops are in good shape and the person who will be the local network administrator is all trained and well prepared. Even though I don’t think she completely feels that way. Seriously, for someone that’s never been to school for technology anything, she’s a quick study and really has a knack for this stuff.
On the not-technology side, I got to go to the local market and pick out a Jalabia (the white robe thing they wear in Darfur) for myself. That was quite an experience. The market looks like any street fair you’ve been to, if it was assembled in the ruins of an old building complex in the middle of a desert with scraps of whatever could be found. There were vendors selling anything from radios to old shoes. And of course I was the only white face for a half mile in any direction.
I’m in Khartoum now. My flight out of here leaves in just over 24 hours, then it’s another 24ish hours of airplanes and waiting for airplanes. Then I’m home. I miss home so much…
