meant that it was near the end of the buisness day and it would take a while, or possibly they were jusBelow is the post I mentioned on Sunday. I'm still at the internet cafe. I was able to get phones for the program but the wireless company was out of internet cards. It is possible that justt out.
From Saturday:
I landed in Malabo around 10 last night and had an easy trip through security. I thought the line for passport checking was moving really slowly until SV, who I did not recognize for some reason, came through passport control from the waiting area and told me that lines are optional. Then I noticed that people who had gotten off the plane after me were already picking up their luggage. I pushed my way to the front of the line and got through. DM and M, a research assistant from Germany, were also at the airport to collect me.
We don’t have internet at the house yet. SV and I went to purchase internet cards and telephones today but the mobile place couldn’t take a check until Monday. So, we will try again Monday. For now I am writing at home and using the internet café. Clearly, if you are reading this, I was able to use the café.
Today M and I went to the market for some food which we were able to get but probably paid to much for. We also bought and onion and 5 bananas from a street vendor and probably only paid a little too much for them. We also put up mesh on several of the windows to keep out the mosquitoes and tried out the washer and dryer. Both work.
The house is across the street from the not-quite-finished-Presidential Palace. There are chickens that run through the neighborhood and spend some time in the front yard. There are also roosters that crow at odd hours. There are mango, banana, and yacaranda trees in the yard. The weather is warm and rainy.
Here are pictures of my kitchen and the yard and some pics of my visit to VC, WC and RC earlier this month).
