It seems to me that we are the most boring white people in Bujumbura.  Everyone has an interesting story, is involved with interesting causes.  We met a woman from Canada at the beauty salon who has lived here for 13 years, working for a foundation that fights child trafficking.  Her husband is an attorney and she is a counselor.  Their youngest son lives with them, has attended local schools and is fluent in French, English and Kirundi.

     Speaking of beauty salons, I thought I'd include some shots of local salons.  (Ashley, you will want to put in your resume at one of these, I'm sure!)

They seem to use the words "salon" and "saloon" interchangeably.  Somebody got bad info in the translation department!
