Res Ipsa Loquitur 2

Dear Country Clubbers

I dutifully wish to report my recent visits to the Democratic Republic of Congo. The photos of me holding a  Nkoyi beer while eating maboke de capitaine (ready-to-eat peppered fish baked in banana leaves) were taken sur le bord de la fleuve massif - Congo.  The other snap gives you an idea of the range of tasty, and strong, brews to choose from in this Ex-Belgian colony (an unfortunate brand name though). My Congolese adventure included a short excursion to the southern city of Lubumbashi. A very calm and prosperous place (thanks to heavy mineral extraction activities), in stark contrast to the Kinshasa madness. 

My country count now comes to 78. Watch out Mr. Duncan, nipping at your heals.
