Two break throughs

1. Cappuccino comes to Sudan, well Darfur actually! I took a moka express percolator pot from my brothers house while home and have been successfully making latte’s the last few days. With a little bit of Italian espresso it makes a wonderful treat even using powdered milk/water.
2. I’ve finally after 13 years of driving learned to drive a stick shift! Without too much bunny hopping and only getting stuck in the sand once, and to the great entertainment of the children outside of the WFP office as I forward and reversed several times. I drove our small little group of expats to the office today. Now I just need the advanced skills of successful driving of a Landcruiser through a wadi (seasonal river) and the whole starting up on a hill thing which I practiced once on a small dune but strangely there was a strong burning smell from the brake after that – but truthfully it’s rather flat here.
