CM, Bosco and Ruhengeri

So we arrived in Nairobi at 6am. We went right to the secret transfer desk and they told us we did not have tickets!! AHHHHHHHHHHH.... Really long and frustrating story short, we got our tickets
After about 1 1/2 we were able to get things straightened out. Lots of stress though.

We boarded and made it to Kigali fine (we did have an hour delay however!). Once we reached Kigali we got 3 of our four bags right away. The last one was literally the last one off the plane. We had all of the stuff!!

Bosco met us, loaded up his cousin's van then we started our errands. First was to Centre Marembo. The kids were not there (it was Saturday) but they all wanted us to come back mid next week. We dropped 3 large bags of clothes, shoes, tooth paste, underwears, etc.. 2 lap tops, a printer, paper, etc.and gave the director $1,000.00 for the BSM community. She could not believe it. They are trying to purchase some land for a new center.

We then went to see Felix and drop off the books, letter and money. Dick. He gave us a bad look, took the books and off we were.

We drove to Ruhengeri. Bosco's son William barfed in the car but all was good afterwards. We went right to Bosco's house and were greeted with hugs from his wife and kids.

We chatted for a while then gave them the donations. Bosco kept saying that it was a miracle. (He is a scammer, but more later). The kids loved the new clothes, shoes, make up, etc.. We also gave them candels, matches, a computer, a digital camera. Very excited. Very cute.

Bosco and Damarse insisted that we have a meal with them in there house. We had a tomato broth with casava bread, cow and peas. Pretty good. Kuntz tried to drink the broth from his bowl and made a semi-permanent goatee on his face and spilled the rest on his shirt and pants. Pretty dang funny.

Bosco brought us to the guesthouse where we were greeted by Delphine and Hassan (our friends from last year). It is nice to be back.

I love you very much and I miss you. I will consider leaving on Thursday.

Have peace and don't make out with any buddahist guys in flannel.

Amahoro.
