Rains, Jacaranda, and my new Tent

Right, so I'm back from ethiopia, the rainy season is about to dump oceanic amounts of water on south kivu, the Jacaranda is in full-bloom, and I've got a brand new mobile storage unit--a tent twice as big as my grandma's house.

I'll be posting all sorts of shots and stories over the weekend...but for now, here's a few pics:
some guys loading up emergency relief kits in the new tent...some guy who showed up for jan egeland's visit to Luhago--anyone catch the coverage of his trip? we showed him around the IDP groupments in the hills...a cute kid...and pictographic proof of perhaps the wildest t-shirt yet! Believe it or not, there was a women in the same village whom I came across earlier in the day who had the following slogan--"there not 'hotflashes', they are energy surges!" Menopause, Male pattern baldness, wonderous the transformations that attend agedness...
