Out of Kigali for the day!


Beautiful view! Just after this picture we walked down to the lake. The walk down was easyJ



Made it to the lake! Anyone who needs to cross loads into a boat and pays for a boat ride, 300 Rwandan Franks (about .40 cents Canadian)
                                   




On the way to the lake we stopped at a silk worm farm. It was pretty neat to be inside this room. You could hear the thousands of worms eating. (it sounded like rain hitting a tin roof)
Two little boys (couldn’t be older than 3) playing with a tire and sticks trying to get the tire to roll in the middle of a dirt road.

Corn on the cob African style. After you peel away the burnt husks, it actually takes really good! Especially this corn that was picked just a few minutes before they cooked it for us.

I asked this lady if I could take her baby girl home with us to Canada…..  I’m pretty sure she didn’t understood what the heck I was sayingJ

We’re in the home of a pastor and his wife in the village. They cooked a large amount of potatoes, beans and corn for us (this is just after we had already eaten 2 cobs of corn from another home we visited) It’s unbelievable how generous and inviting people are.


A group of kids that followed us around for a good part of the day. Some were afraid of us, but very curious and watched us, what felt like every second. We were told that for some of the kids it would have been their first time seeing a white person. (Mazungu 'white people')

  1. We won the amazing race that's for sure!!! And the memories I have taken away are priceless! Each day was an incredible, emotional, eye-opening experience! I am so thankful for my time in Rwanda with Kim, Mark and the many wonderful and welcoming people I had the pleasure of meeting!
