Does it take courage to eat in a new restaurant? it's not quite Fear Factor...
I'm not sure but I got to be one of the first customers at the opening day of an Indian Restaurant in Kigali.

It opened about 4 blocks from the hotel so I will likely be a frequent eater. Last night I had Dahl Makani (cooked lentils) and Palak Paneer (spinach and cottage cheese) that were heavenly.

So unless my stomach explodes today it does not rank as much of an adventure just a very good find. For my fear factor, one time I did eat a few mopani worms in Zimbabwe ...

Weather report- another lovely warm and sunny one for Kigali. It did rain yesterday midday so I had a half hour swim, in the rain on the noon-2 p.m. work break they take here. Today at lunch is another tennis lesson from "Marteen" who speaks no English but urges me to keep my backhand level in French.

I met a woman in an internet cafe and who is a French teacher and hope to hire her today for a daily French lesson... Oh wait, it's been 2 days since I had a massage - have to fit that in too!
