Good Morning, Rwanda!

We watched our first sunrise in Rwanda - a bright red sun coming over the mountains. Kilgali is the capital city and the place where everyone in Rwanda comes to shop. The streets were packed with cars, motorcycle cabs (can you even imagine...) and people on foot. The dress is everything from business suits to NFL jerseys to traditional long dresses and head wraps. Houses and businesses are hanging off sides of hills. The Gorillas Hotel where we are staying is far (in so many ways) from the accommodations in Nairobi much much less London! The people speak French even though they don't really care for the French. Its much warmer here than Nairobi with lots of humidity. There is absolutely no need for moisturizer! Today we meet with our first relief organization to see what they are doing in the field. What an adventure!
