    On my way home now. In amsterdam, flying out in a few hours. Computer is dead, poor old girl couldn't take the African power surges. I'll be blogging when I am back on the webs permanently. Much to share. Y'all keep your eyes out for the CoE auction in October. Was a success and really a big deal for Rwanda - first in Africa. Thanks for the support.

    I worked the bar at a Bikes to Rwanda fundraiser at Verite Coffee in Seattle along with Stumptown Coffee Roasters. It was such a great experience. I got to work along side the owner of Stumptown and seeing the wonderful turn out and support of the benefit was really rewarding. Thank you Bikes to Rwanda!
