Business Meeting in a Sauna?!

Last night I went to meet a the guy who is running one of our partner organizations for a coffee. We talked for an hour getting to know each other and about our working relationship. He mentioned that he was going to a local sauna with a friend and said I was welcome to join. Knowing very well that I would go home and sit on my butt by myself, I decided to join. The friend, Christine, was a beautiful Rwandan woman, who used to work as the guest relations manager at the Serena Hotel and work in President Kagame's office, so she knows everyone. She was extremely sweet and took great care of me.
We arrived at the sauna and were given some big pieces of African print cloth - one for the body and one for the head. These are used as a cover up while in the sauna. For the next 2 hours (? I lost track of time) I was followed the Northern European ritual of sauna, cold shower, relax, sauna, cold shower, relax... with one other muzungo (white man) and roomfulls of Rwandans. It turned out to be incredibly relaxing. Water mixed with herbs is thrown over the heating system in the sauna, so it had the most fragrant intoxicating smell. I especially liked my frabic and hair do!
The most difficult part was continuing to talk about work and business as the night went on and I got more and more drowzy from the heat, steam, and relaxing atmosphere. Its a good thing we plan to have a normal business meeting this week, but I hope I can remember even half of what we discussed in our loin cloths!
