The Internet has been down for a few days, but it is back up now. I am having a blast in Rwanda. We have the best cook in the world. She is awesome.
Things are looking up. I have been interacting with some school children and different people in Rwanda. The people here are all so nice. They do stare at us a lot, and I don't mean that they look at us as we pass by; I mean that they stare you right in the eyes. It is part of their culture. It is somewhat strange, but I just stare right back at them.
Most of them try to talk to us in their best English. I have been asked if I know the Hip Hop star 50 cent many times. Apparenlty he has quite a following here in Rwanda.
This next week is suppose to be very busy with many coffee buyers coming into town. I have settled down, and now I'm ready to work.
Our house is a perfect place. There are three bedrooms (one for each student), a living room, dining room/ kitchen, and two bathrooms. It is a nicer place than my first dorm and apartment in college station by leaps and bounds. (We should have hot water by Tuesday). Not to mention that we have a woman who cooks three meals a day for us and cleans (washes and irons clothes too). We also have a night gard that watches our house.
It is amazing. I am becoming very spoiled with all the special attention, but it helps the local economy. Whatever I can do to help!

haha, that's so funny about the 50 cent thing, but so kool also. I'm so glad that things are going so well and that you're being treated very kindly there! that's so kool and by looking at the pictures, it's prett there. I've always figured that parts of Africa were very beautiful and it's apparent there is. By the way, if you want some quick 50 cent mp3's, you can go to my facebook. I have some you could listen to there or play some music for the kids. Talk to ya later bro!
