Moving On

Good morning! Today is our last day in Kigali. Technically yesterday was, because today we're leaving in less than two hours for Musanze, a few hours away. The last night in Kigali passed uneventfully but we were up kind of late packing and getting ready. People taking a certain kind of malaria medicine have been having weird/bad dreams, so I hope none of those happened last night. I haven't had dreams at all. :)

I think most of us feel bittersweet about almost being done with our time in Rwanda. We will be in Musanze tomorrow debriefing and then we head back to Kigali airport on Saturday and leave. It is difficult to put into words how we feel. I'm saying 'we' because I've been asking other people too.

For Kelcy and me, fitting all our new things in our bags was an adventure, but I think mine will work out, at least enough to get to Musanze. I wonder how the others have done with it.

Last night at the restaurant, I forgot to mention that it was started by Americans, and runs in order to train Rwandans in the hospitality services. And there was a Wii there. Fred and Bosco played tennis and it's possible that they'd never played anything like that before. They really enjoyed it, and Bosco proudly said at the end, "I won," with a big smile.

I don't know if there will be internet for the rest of the week, and if not then this is the last post for a while until I get home. If that's the case, then au revoir! It's been an amazing ride and I know I still have things to learn from it. If I am able, I'll post more later on.

Things of note:

• A very loud bird just flew past our window.
• I love Rwanda.
• The neighbour in the house nextdoor keeps pacing on his porch. Back and forth, back and forth.
• I wonder how much we've all changed.
• If you plan to ever see me, please try to think of another question besides "How was Rwanda?". That could make our conversation easier. :)
• Tomorrow is Kelcy's birthday!
• I am hungry and I'm going to eat breakfast now.
