Week

So I guess it's been almost a week since I've posted an update. I've been super busy with work! I really don't have too many exciting things to say, either. My week has gone well...got the outline of my handbook done, so I'm on track. It is a lot of work though, don't let me fool you. I am writing a whole handbook myself from scratch. It is a lot of responsibility, which I am very grateful for, but a lot of work as well. It's hard trying to get to know the people of Rwanda and be out doing fun things when there is so much work, and it is my priority. But I knew that coming here, so no big deal.

I do have some exciting news... Sonia and I made reservations to go whitewater rafting on the Nile River in Uganda on February 21!!!!!!!!! She has never been out of Rwanda and obviously I haven't either. We are leaving on Saturday morning, we then take a 20 hour bus ride to Kampala. We spend the night in Kampala and wake up the next morning to shuttle to Jinja (where the Nile is). We whitewater raft all day and stay the night in Jinja at their campsite. I get a hot shower, FINALLY!! Then we wake up the next day and explore a little more of Uganda and stay the night in Kampala. Then we take a bus back to Rwanda (20 hours again), and arrive and pass out! Next day, we work at 8 Am. But it will all be worth it... we are so excited and I can't wait to post pictures! We have had a few friends who have done it and they have said nothing but great stuff about it.

So today is Saturday, so its officially laundry day. I also think that I might hit up the gym and sauna. I haven't been in 3 days, so I need to go. Need to get toned for that wedding of mine (not that the hills here aren't enough already).

Oh yeah, I also forgot to mention that I went to this restaurant called HEAVEN last night. It is thought to have the best views of Kigali and it was VERY good. Very pricey though. I was glad I got to go because we ran into a lot of people that we knew there, which is always fun. Tons of muzungus in one place!

So I better get going on that laundry. It will be dark in like 7 hours so I need to do it now so they have time to dry. <3

PS Today marks 1 month exactly that I have been out of the US
