t minus 10 musings and counting

i've written four journal entries and haven't taken a single picture.

Kristen: well this is your home. when you live somewhere you don't really take pictures of your bedroom.



i decided last week that my heart is in rwanda. i've loved it since the first time i saw it. i might say i'm more at home in rwanda than even in uganda. mukono has become familiar in a way that i love and that makes my cheeks blush. but rwanda. i feel rwanda in my skin. i feel comfortable in kigali in a way i rarely feel comfortable. ever. yeah, it may have something to do with rwanda driving on the right side of the road. but somewhere beyond that, i'm content. i'm content surrounded by its hills and cool weather and community. content in a way i've always been looking for. rwanda makes me happy. plain and simple. i think i want to live there. i think i will.

if you'll come with me.

you sound like a travel agent for Rwanda - I hope you have pictures of your travels there - you have peaked my interest... Safe travels Annie, so glad you will be home (at least for awhile!!) Love you, Nana
