After over 24 hours of travel, we finally made it to Kigali. Exhausted and sleep deprived (at least I was), we landed in the small Kigali International Airport. Finally I was here, after months of anticipation. I immediately got my second wind. We then packed all of our luggage into a truck followed by ourselves and proceeded to drive to our new home for the next 4 months. After driving down the bumpiest road I've ever been on we came to a gate where we were let in and warmly greeted by the house staff. After a short house tour and meeting we went on a walking tour of the town. We definitely aren't in America anymore. Every person on the street just stared, one man even took a video of us as we walked by. Leah (our guide and house mom) gave us great tips and suggestions of fun things to do in town. I'm so excited for the opportunity to get to know the local people and to learn from them.
