Times have changed in the Democratic Republic of Congo since Mobutu flew a Concorde-load of Champagne in from Paris ... just back (to Goma) from Nyanzale, where there was no Internet connection (!), no phone service, and ... no electricity, thanks to a failed generator alternator. Tres romantique. Photograph of deluxe accommodation attached.
The really bad news: the red wine ran out last night (luckily, I had poured my final glass). The silver lining? I left this morning for a place where the supply is ample. Sante!
