Felix (Take 2) and Rain in the Dry Season

We think we've mentioned before that time in Rwanda in elastic. We ate breakfast at our guest house and decided to read a little before Felix showed up to pick us up at 9:30am. We read until about 10:15, got scared by the biggest bumble bee in the southern hemisphere, and then contined to read (Seriously! we took a photo and laughed very hard!). We read until 11:00 am. Felix had not shown up. We told the staff at the guest house that we were going to walk into town and that if Felix should show up, that's where we'd be. (It woudn't be hard to find us in the town of Kibungo). We waited around until about 11:30 and finally decided that Felix had probably ditched us. Luckily a mini-bus left for Kigali at 11:45.

A mini-bus in Rwanda is about the size of a Volkswagen bus (or more recently a Vanagon) and in the US, 10 people and the family dog would fit rather nicely. Well with James' head smashed into the ceiling and his knees into the back of the seat in front of him all 19 people! took off for the 2 hour trip to Kigali. Now this was an express bus which must mean something different in Rwanda. After 5 or 6 other stops we made it to Kigali.

Our plan was to go to Amahoro stadium and watch a soccer match. As we were leaving the guest house it started to rain! To rain! In the dry season in Africa! For 2 hours! Anyway we made it to the game, watched a fun match then went to a Mexican restaraunt. Not bad.

Things here are great and winding down. We will try to see Kibuye beginning of next week (Immaculee's hometown) then our last night will be spent at the Milles Collines (Hotel Rwanda)
