Independence Day

After three days of uncertainty we finally got our independence! We found a place to stay and were released from the money-sucking hospitality industry. We didn’t get a definite solution, but were able to stay at a colleague’s house for a week while she is away on a mission (a mission is the World-Bank-posh-way of saying "external assignment"). That will buy us some time to work out a definite solution and give us some peace of mind to focus on our work here.

This was a great relief and the Americans were kind enough to celebrate our independence day with us. They even threw a major fireworks party near the Washington Monument that lasted for more than half an hour.


These Americans are so nice!
