In Kigali

I arrived in Kigali Saturday afternoon, and was promptly welcomed back into my Rwandan family. They didn't tell the kids that I was coming, and I surprised them by picking them up at school (yes, they have school 6 days a week here!). After a long nap to recover from my journey, I went with Yvette and Michel (who I live with) to the sports bar they run in town. Luckily I was all screwed up from the change in time zones, because we stayed until 4am, drinking, eating (goat brochette of course!), playing pool and dancing. I have lost no time in working toward my goal of learning to dance like a local! Sunday was spent sleeping and watching Big Brother Africa, which is aired 24 hours a day on a channel dedicated to Big Brother only! So today I came into town to the  Bourbon Coffee shop (Rwandan Starbucks-like cafe with fancy coffees and wireless internet) to start setting up my research project. Bohoro bohoro (little by little). I am remembering my Ikinyarwanda, which will be helpful since people are so impressed when I speak it. Especially when I introduce myself as Sara Agasaro. My French vocabulary is returning as well, although I must admit playing Scrabble in French with the kids yesterday was not easy! A bientot!
