Jen and I celebrated our 17th anniversary! This is the SECOND anniversary we've celebrated in Uganda. The first was back in 2007 during my first trip to Uganda.

After much prayer our AMAZING espresso machine has finally arrived in Uganda. This is the top of the line, most AMAZING machine. Thanks to Chris Duke who handled shipping, Bruce White who got us a great deal and to Ron Martin who found us two donated machines to offset the cost, the machine is here in Uganda, and might ultimately be free. This thing is AMAZING. It's in our house right now until the coffee bar in the cafe is finished.

This is James, our new barista. He competed in the East African barista competition and he really knows his stuff. He used some nasty beans we had around and some not-so-quality milk and he made a wicked cup of Cappuccino.

Jen got the honor of the first cup. She said it needed more sugar! =D

Here's some photos of the cafe as it's coming together. This is the main room. The gray paint adds to the "dungeon / hall / castle" thing we have going.
