Farewell Juba
The road the US Consulate is on
US Consulate - notice the big giant boulders in front. These are a security measure to prevent anyone from being able to drive through the walls of the consulate.

The big pole on front is for radio communications. If CMMB does not get one of these on our vehicle, I am not getting in it! (necessary for security, cell phone coverage is incomplete)
I was in the room on the left at Camp Oasis - #82. It was maybe a 7' x 10' room?
View from my tin cell - beautiful sunrise over the Nile River
I ran into my professor, Therese McGinn at the Juba Airport. How in the heck does this happen?!?!?! What a small world!
Shuttle to the UNHAS/WFP plane
UNHAS = United Nations Humanitarian Air ServicesThese flights are only available to humanitarian workers.
Views of Juba
Dr. Steven works for IMC in Tambura, a small village about a 7-hour drive from Yambio . . . no flights into there. He struggles with isolation :(Hello Yambio!
View of Yambio from the plane. Some people told me it was a town.Really?!?!? I just see a few mud huts with thatched roofs!!
My first time landing on a dirt airstrip!
All the humanitarian agencies' cars waiting for their passengers

Roads are being completed by a Kenyan contractor. Apparently the wide, flat, dirt road here currently used to be a few feet wide surrounded by bush. The three senior staff of this project are staying at the UNICEF compound where I am temporarily (more on that later).

Molly, not sure if you are still there, but stumbled on to your blog when checking our Juba - the destination of our daughter, Caitlin, who is a part of the team assembling there to prepare for the January vote. She deploys on October 28th and we are wondering if you can suggest any items you were particularly missing - little things - while over there. She is expected to be there for 6 months, with an option to extend depending on the situation. Thank you, Rebecca Conaty
