Meeting USAID

We were able to meet with USAID today. They were wonderful. They have a very nice building and everyone we spoke with was so friendly and wanted the project to succeed. We ate in their cafeteria (which was catered by the Marriott hotel) and had a chance to get to know the people who hired us.

We had our first look at the classrooms and equipment we'll be able to use for the instruction. They have any technological need you could ask for and plenty of space. We should have no problems there.

We were driven over by a USAID driver. I'm so glad we didn't try to rent a car as it is pretty crazy on those roads. The painted lines are much more a suggestion than a rule. It made me think of the song "walk like an Egyptian". Just picture someone jumping out of the way of a car and you've seen someone walk like a real Egyptian.

We are still doing quite well and looking forward to the rest of our team coming on Thursday.
