Day In Kigali

Election Day - thankfully calm and orderly.
Soccer with kids - 90 minutes of fun.
Unexpected preschool visit - village kids coming out of the woodwork.
Lunch with an Anglican Priest, who came home to Rwanda in 1994, in the heart of the genocide. Amazing stories.
Belgian genocide memorial.
Hotel Rwanda - The Mille Colline.
Kigali market - color, flavor, and all kinds of stuff
Amazing race home on moto taxis - with nothing but the name of the neighborhood we're staying in. Prizes for the winner. My (Fred's) driver might have overtaken Bryan's in the last 300 yards to seal the victory! Not that I'm bragging.
Yard games - frisbee golf, bocce ball, and more soccer (big guys only).
Drive by the national stadium where the election celebration is in full force.
Fine Indian food for a send off dinner.
Not a bad day at all.
Tomorrow we board the plane for Uganda and the flavor of the trip makes a big change.
