Day of Contrasts - Thank you Innocent

Today's blog is a teaser. Its been a big day. Lots done. Saw a great Cloud Computing seminar. Room was packed with students. Dan and Wolfgang did a terrific job working with the TAs and creating a cohesive presentation that the students were really interested. The room was packed and they were all really interested. We were completely exhausted, but had been invited to Innocent's village to see the home he is building. He arranged a big welcome by the entire village, together with a traditional tribal dance done by the women of the village. I've just posted a few photos of that, together with a photo of Wolfgang presenting (sorry Dan - but Wolfgang brings me my audience in Europe, so I have to feature him!). Note the packed room with as many behind the camera as in front of the camera. As you can see, the day was full of contrasts.

I will share more with more pictures later (as long as the internet service holds up). For now I will say that Innocent is the best host, and we were treated like visiting celebrities. The kids absolutely were fascinated by us - perhaps not as much by us, as by our cameras - and they all love to be in photos. You should be able to see in the first picture..as we were trying to leave, the kids were all over our car wanting to say 'hello' and 'thank you' - they were also excited to be saying the few english words they knew.

More later - together with pictures of the Gogo dance, featuring ME playing the drums!
