We just got to Rwanda! This country is beautiful. Kigali, the capital, is a winding maze of steep streets. The air is cool and quiet. I don’t even feel like I am in Africa right now. Unlike Ugandans, many Rwandans don’t speak a lot of their local language. In Uganda they speak Luganda or Lusoga, but in Rwanda they speak French. We were buying croissants in a bakery and for a few brief moments it seemed we were actually in France. The people are friendly and the word “Muzungu” is not screamed at us constantly. It seems almost unreal to think that not long ago this country was ravaged by genocide.
We are going to genocide museums tomorrow and another one the next day. I am really excited to be here!
