Not much new to report in Lagos... I now have a computer at work, a phone, a car and a driver! The driver's name is Rotimi and he is a nice, quiet guy... too bad he doesn't know where anything is!
For about 30,000 Naira ($200USD) per month, he will drive Desiree and I where ever we want to go - how decadent! It really is a requirement here - the traffic is so bad and there is a risk of someone stealing the mirrors and door handles off your car if there isn't someone watching it! It rained on Thursday and there was 1 foot of water on most of the roads - so all the pot holes that had been fixed are now huge again, bummer.
On the phone issue - there is a phone number in Dallas - (713) 431-8500 ext 1293 - which connects to my desk in Lagos, so you don't have to call Africa. Once we get moved into our flat, we'll have an extension at the house also... so make sure you have unlimited (or cheap) long distance to the USA
I added some photos from the Yacht Club into that post... and unfortunately, I really haven't taken any other good photos - so I'll start now! But, here is an interesting photo taken from the airplane as I was flying over the Sahara Desert...
