Well, last weekend was the end of Ramadan, the biggest holiday of the year in this primarily Muslim country. I had a mostly quiet weekend, with some fun things thrown in. Good distractions from work, like a concert, a swim at my friends Dana & Allison’s house, and an Eid luncheon, where we ate a lovely meal and had some music – the kids just LOVED the digital camera, and laughed and laughed at their photos. (The musician hasn't been to Toronto - our host of the event brought the t-shirt back from the AIDS Conference in August).
Tuesday we headed to Ouaga where we’ve discovered a few more good places to eat – very exciting! And also had some productive meetings. Tomorrow I head to Dakar, Senegal – which is supposed to be fascinating, but very dangerous – for a couple days, then on to Malawi. In Malawi we will be having the BIPAI Network meeting, and it will be great to hear what the other sites are doing. Hard not to feel frustrated about our slow progress, but we are making progress nonetheless.
Anyhow, have a lovely week.
Laura
