Life is good

I am totally comfortable in my new place. The people I live with are so nice and very welcoming. I even spoke with the husband the other day when he called from Indonesia where he works - he wanted to make sure that I was enjoying my stay and to tell me to feel at home.

I've been busy since I got to Kigali. There is definitely more going on here than in other Rwandan towns. Saturday I went to a bbq at a friends house, which eventually moved to a posh bar downtown. Sunday I went swimming with Yvette and the kids at a pool near the house. Monday I went out after work with my friend Garry to his friend's place for wine and pasta. Last night I relaxed at the house and (sadly) watched Ghana lose to Brazil. Tonight after work I'm headed to the Novotel gym with a colleague, and tomorrow there's yoga and an Indian food picnic at a friend's house.

Going back to Canada is going to be a shock to my system! Although I am excited to see everyone and to tell you my stories in person.
