Just a quick note to say that things are going okay for me in Kinshasa. As you may or may not have heard on the news, there's been some, ahem, "activity" (read: fighting) in the Congo. All the action is taking place out east, near the city of Goma. Goma is over 1000 miles away from Kinshasa and there's nothing but endless jungle between the two. I'm not even sure if there's a good road between here and there. I went to a town hall meeting for US citizens tonight that was scheduled well in advance of these developments and it included a briefing. There's nothing for us to worry about, and the Embassy will keep everyone abreast of the situation if there are further developments
Thanks to everyone who emailed asking about our safety - we're doing fine and haven't seen any change in the mood around town. We appreciate your prayers and concern.
