Welcome Back to Congo (Day 10, August 1, Friday)

Even though, today was my tenth day in Congo, it was my first day in
Kananga. There is a big difference between Kinshasa and Kananga. To start,
there is about 6-10 million differences (more people). But being a smaller
city, life is little slower and less hectic.

For example, just as many people walk in the streets or on the side of the
road as they do on the sidewalks. The traffic is nothing compared to
Kinshasa. There are more motorbikes and bicycles. And the air is lot
cleaner.

The day was spent catching up on changes in the town and seeing old friends
here. Of course, they wanted to know how everyone was doing in the states.
A few people ask about our upcoming presidential elections. The elections
are the last thing I want to discuss. I am "primary"-ed out!
