Day 23 and still going strong

Things have been very busy, as starting a business is one thing, but starting one in Africa is a whole other ball of wax!  There have been so many meetings with applicants, contractors, government officials, and local royalty, that there has barely been any time to think.

We did sneak away today to a place called Oku where some of the most talented artisans in the country are located.  We stopped by several handicraft shops and met with artisans, and also stopped by a local Honey collecting and marketing Cooperative.  All in all it was an interesting visit.  The scenery was breathtaking as Oku is one of the highest elevations in the country.  We were in the 8,000 - 10,000 foot range above sea level.

Briana is really taking things in stride.  She is very relaxed and strong in the face of such a culture shock.  I (as always) am very proud that she is my wife.

I have to run now as time is always tight.  I will be trying to upload photos sometime soon.

Be well,

Matt D
