Hi all,
Last weekend we spent in downtown Kigali.A hot shower in the room and CNNmade us quite happy!!! Spent two days exploring the city- it is one that is very sprawled out so we did a lot of walking, the city is on a hillside so has amazing views, a lot of trees and flowers so it is beautiful.
We had a nostalgic moment when we found the Canadian Embassy!
Ate a lot of good food-from local to more western.As usual both of us enjoyed each morsel! The Primus beer is our frequent standard.
We went to a fashion show in the gorgeous Serena hotel with local designes and local singers for entertainment. A most enjoyable event.
this weekend we are headed out of town to Butare and Nyengwe National Park to do some hiking and to see some monkeys and waterfalls.
Will let you know how that adventure turns out!!
We continue to be safe and well(cast iron stomachs).
Take care all of you. Miss you

Hi Ladies - wow, what stories you will have to tell us when you get back. Hopefully, you will be able to get "Primus" beer when you are back in Canada since it seems to the flavour you are enjoying. We are into "spring" - it arrived today. Our high is going to +2 today, so not a whole lot of melting will be going on. It doesn't sound like it is going to get much warmer than that for the next week or so. We may still have snow on the ground by the time you gals get back. Take care of each other and I am anxious to hear about this monkey/waterfall adventure. Dar
