Things are calming down for the moment based on the promise of International aid and the removal of the Prime Minister. I spoke with Rea this morning, and she reassured me that it’s safe to come. I have so many questions about what’s going on there, how the news is spread to quell the riots, what if anything feeds people in the interim, how long it takes, how it will be distributed, what’s going to change in customs (if anything). And the bigger question: there seems to be food to be had, only people who can’t afford to buy it. That’s how it was when I was there before. That’s how it is in the US, too.

Anyway, more on all that later. For now, I’m off to the airport.
