More From Ethiopia

Andrew was able to talk to his family in the DR over Skype for 30-40 minutes today. He also was able to do gmail chat with me this afternoon. It seems that his new office has decent internet access, at least at night after all the employees have gone home!

Andrew was happy to have met a friend for coffee and had two possible rental houses to look at. He's hoping to find something near his office so the transportation issues won't be so complicated.

He's also already at work getting a drivers' license, a cell phone, keys to the office, etc. Sounds like things are going smoothly to start with.

Gary and I are going over to Rachel's for dinner tonight. Well, bringing dinner in would be a better description. We think she needs to be around people a bit more!

But her job does have her talking a lot on the phone, so that helps her not to be isolated. And she is keeping very busy, fully engaged in her new job. She lost a few students but now they've given her 5 more!
