Hey all! So, I know it’s been a while, and I apologize. Things got crazy busy with the end of the school year, then Dawson visited, then my parents visited, then I had a wedding to go to, then it was Christmas and then it was New Years and you see, here we are at the current date. So, I will do a word vomit blog update, but I figured first I’ll post a bunch of pictures so you can see what I’ve been up to in the mean time.
Per usual, enjoy!
Some of my students on their last day of school. This is their best attempt at smiling.
Milo has grown to full size and proven to be quite an adventurous, but pain in the butt, cat.
Like I said, pain in the butt. That’s his kibble…guess he was hungry?
Dawson came to visit…our friendship in a nutshell.
PCV Thanksgiving, goodbye party to leaving PCVs…aptly named “A Primus TIe Affair” where wearing clothing with Primus Beer paraphernalia. This is typical.
Primus print cocktail dresses. Even in Africa we know how to party.
At the start of Gorilla Trekking
The Gorillas! And a picture of me with our awesome guide.
Then we went to Uganda…to an island on a lake called Byoona Amagara for some lovely R&R. The 3 of us stayed in a Geodome (me, Gelsey and Dawson) and had a wonderful time. This is the billboard which welcomed us back in to Rwanda…Primus is a kind of beer.
Then I went to South Africa and met the parents! Here’s Cape Town and Table Mountain
Then we went wine tasting in Stellanbosch…Napa Valley doesn’t even come close to these wines!
We went to the Southernmost Tip of Africa! It’s where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet and straight south is Antarctica. Pretty cool. Plus, I guess we’re a pretty good looking family…minus Greg.
And our last tourist destination in South Africa was Cape Point. Yet another gorgeous view and lighthouse…and a marker saying how far it was home. That’s a loooooong way back!
The parents came to Rwanda! This was the courtyard at our hotel.
They even ventured out to my village. Behind is a view from by my school, a picture with Twaza and then Donatira.
A day trip to Akagera National Park and we got to see lots and lots of cool animals!
We spent a couple days at the Serena Hotel in Gisenyi
Then the parents left and I went back to site for Ephron’s wedding. A couple pictures of that before my camera died. Whoops.
Post Christmas bumming. Jed, Gelsey and Milo lounging after a nice Christmas with some new volunteers. (That’s my house now, by the way)
And I do believe that brings us up to present day. Later tonight I’ll hopefully write and upload a word version of what’s been going on in the Land of a Thousand hills, but really it’s typically just another day in paradise. I’ll leave you all with a couple panorama views from vacation!
Cape Point- South Africa
Akagera National Park…lots of Giraffes.
