Off for the Summer!

 

First, a dinner with the Eritreans--note the fabulous loaf of bread Wunesh made.  Today Kifle defends his thesis for his PhD degree--wishing him well.

Then, the rental of a van.....

with much more space than we'd imagined.  Chee Heng did a brilliant job of loading it (that's a painted table of mine under the protection of many layers of pillows, knitted coats, old skirts, Tulip's bed).  Much packing and moving--all on the hottest day of the year so far (90 degrees plus).  It'll be nice to get to Chocorua---Tulip is definitely ready.
