Ra's Life

Ra's Life Kigali, the capital of Rwanda is all about hills. The "Hotel Rwanda" where I am staying is actually named Milles Des Collines (1000 hills).

The place is green with lovely flowered trees. There is also the reddish ochre-ish brown of the unpaved roads and sidewalks. The paved roads are lines with drainage ditches - cement ones, 2.5 feet deep just off the road edge - watch your step!

I got that $5 tennis lesson in at lunch and have another $10 massage after work.

2 days ago I ate at a whole in the wall (like most of the places here) Ethiopian restaurant - good stuff. Next blog will hopefully have another dining adventure to report.

I will upload photos when i get organized - I woke again today at 1:30 and didn't get back to sleep - I just got up and listened to a CD from a Toastmasters world champion about making humorous speeches.
