Welcome to Rwanda

We've made it safe and sound...

We've all come to the consensus that Kenyan Air makes Air Canada look like a third-world airline. A good rest, some quality airline food, and a short 8-hour hop, skip and jump brought us from London to Nairobi. There we had a few hours to enjoy some quality Kenyan coffee at the Java House... alas, they no longer have wireless there as they did during my last visit, so I couldn't take advantage of the extra speed to post more photographs.

Another short flight on Rwandair, a short discussion at customs convincing the border guards that we didn't need to pay the 'tax' to import the cameras, a two-minute ride in the Landcruiser, and here we are at the beautiful Wellspring campus (or, 'the compound' as Lyn likes to call it.)

We're all a little tired, but excited to be here. All of the equipment appears to have made it without incident, and the guest house here is outstanding.

We'll spend today doing an in-depth tour of the city, then meet together as a complete team for the first time (the challenge of a very international group.) A big part of our discussion will be just how much we have to shoot in our limited time. Pray for wisdom and discernment in our planning.

I had forgotten just how slow 14.4 dialup is, so unfortunately my use of photos will have to be very judicious.

I'll post more when there's more to report. Thanks for following our journey.
