Part 4 of 6 - Thursday



Today’s flight was for one of the humanitarian groups in Bunia. I took a plane load of tires, inner tubes, and motor oil from Bunia to Faradje for them. The smell of rubber in the airplane was pretty strong!


On the return flight, they had 5 passengers--and a kitten--going to Bunia. The unusual thing about this flight (other than the kitten) was being able to use English with the passengers. Most of the time there are at least a couple of people on board who do not speak English, so we use French. But this time English was the language of the day. A nice change:-)

After returning from Faradje I had some things to do in Bunia. I visited the office of one of our humanitarian users. Later I dropped by the bread store to buy bread and chapatis (kind of like thick, greasy tortillas). Then I went to the MAF office to work with our finance manager on a couple of issues before returning home to Nyankunde.

For dinner, we went to our co-workers house and had a wonderful chicken pot pie, and mangoes and cookies for dessert. After dinner we went home and got the kids to bed. I finished up most of my month-end paperwork, then we went to bed.
