Hey folks,

Safe & sound in Rwanda. Besides (yet again) convincing Air Canada that yes, my bags did need to come with me to Kigali and not enjoy their own vacation in Nairobi (grrr...) the trip was uneventful. Met up with Jim & Richard yesterday, unpacked all the gear and started planning out the days. Today's a big day right off the top. We're spending most of today with one of our main characters, Nicholas Hitimana. We'll be travelling to different places that make up a part of his story of surviving the genocide and talking to him about why he came back and what his dreams are for Rwanda.

Jet lag is pretty minimal. I crashed about 7pm last night and slept all the way until 5am. Awoke to the now-familiar alarm clock of the birds and voices bouncing off the hills. Feels good to be back.
