No word yet on whether we can go home on the 12th or not but my money is on not. There apparently is an upcoming anniversary of killings that many blame on an old president who happens to be living in the US - therefor it is likely that there will be an increase in anti American sentiment that might make it a bad idea for us to be in the country.

That's alright with me because I'm starting to get settled here and I found a job that is meaningful and interesting. I'm working in the office that provides communications for the sec of state while she's traveling. Interesting stuff.
