Hello from Rwanda!!

Hey everybody!!!

We are currently in an internet cafe in the city of Gisenyi after returning from the field station of the Great Ape Trust. There we hiked in the reserve through the rain for 4 hours and it was nothing short of AWESOME!

Our group is getting along very well and we can make even the worst situations into something fun to take our minds off of it....such as down pouring rain and bridges washing out during the hike. We have also all been given Rwandan names and mine is Rarubo which means flower because I enjoy looking at the plants so much.

The landscape here is very pretty with the mountains and lush forest, also lake Kivu which is by the hotel we are staying at now is nice. There are many people everywhere you go just walking down the road to get to the place they need too, makes me feel lazy sometimes because we are always driving in jeeps.

So far this trip has been amazing and I will remember it for the rest of my life.

Can't wait to see what is in store for the rest of the days we have here!!!
