We are back

It was great to be greeted by Jonathan Rob and Jan as we walked out of the airport into a grey and drizzily but very warm Kigali. The flight had gone well but was very tiring. Rather than just go to bed we decided to get a trip into town and see the changes in the centre, and of course for Jan her very first taste of Africa
Jonathan is now an old hand and took us to his favourite haunt the Bourbon coffee shop. Then we needed to go to MTN to sort out our Rwandan SIMS, a bank to change money and a little walk around town.
The centre is changing very rapidly into a very modern city with high rise buildings rising up almost weekly it seems. However still all the bustle and busyness of an African city. Back to the Umugano hotel for a sandwich and a little snooze. We then met up with Pastor Anastase to give him one of the computers we had brought out. It was for one of the orphans he looks after who is going on a computer course. Then our friend Teddy came to see us looking as incredibly frail and old as ever, it is a shock to be reminded she is younger than us! It was wonderful to have old old cook Jean Marie back at peace having fled back to Kigali from the Ebola epidemic where his last job had taken him. so we had the first of many very large and delicious African meals.(not casava beans and rice which the majority live on.)
