Muzungo! Muzungo!

So, today we hung out in Kigali for a few hours. Did some walking and looking. Went to a church (St. Famille) that was a shelter during the Genocide. Very peaceful and very moving. We then proceeded to the transportation center of Kigali to look into catching a bus to Ruhengeri. It cost us 1000 Frw (less than $2.00) for a 1:45 trip.

The roads were very steep and curvey. We were in a bus that was packed. During our trip we saw many interesting things: many farmers, many hills, and we saw something called "justice in the grass". Justice in the grass is a rural Rwandan way of handling disputes. I speculate that there were 5 perpetrators of the Genocide pleading their case to return to the hill.

We arrived in a small village called Ruhengeri in the Northeast. We looked very humorous with our backpacks and being the only white people anywhere. We dined on bruschette (in this case we had goat intestine. Cave liked it, Kuntz not so much). We walked around Rhuengeri for several hours, went to a Genocide memorial and looked around. All the while hearing "Muzungo! Muzungo!" which means "white person." Yes we are.

Finally we located a person to drive us to Kinigi. Kinigi is a very small, rural goat village in the north. We checked into our guest house then played futbol with village kids for about an hour (Cave scored a goal and both of us Muzugos played very well).

We gave the team some soccer balls.

We went to sleep very early (10:00 knowing we had a big day ahead of us). (BTW-real mosquito netting from the ceiling!)

Thanks for reading. We are looking forward to 2 more weeks of this trip.

Both Kuntz and Cave would like to say hi to our families. We love you very much and hope to bring you here someday.
