Ok, where did we leave off? Ahh yes, nearing Rwanda... We had another adventurous escapade with African public transportation complete with buses overcrowded with livestock and 50 lb sacks of rice and to top that off our cell didn't work as we were told it would, once we crossed the Rwanda border. Thankfully, we had befriended a kind young man who helped us navigate the Rwanda public transport and locate Nick once we reached Kigali. Once we got over the frantic joy of finally seeing a familiar face we realized that we hadn't eaten in the past 12 hours (unless you count the peanuts and grody cookies full of hydrogenated oils that we purchased from children through the bus windows). Nick took us to a place in the center of the city that served American food and we all ate delicious hot sandwiches and washed them down with soda make with real sugar (not corn syrup or that fake sugar crap) – yum so good! That night we even got hot showers – a rare luxury. And a wonder because the water isn't heated in the traditional sense that we are accustomed, it is actually heated by the shower head that is plugged into the wall outlet... hummm... safe? Maybe they have a different type of electricity out here, the kind that doesn't use water as a conductor and won't electrocute you... The following morning we set out to Kinigi intent on seeing the mountain gorillas of Rwanda. After several hours of nearly glamorous public transit we found ourselves with our luggage strapped to our backs and fronts, riding on the back of 3 boda boda (motorbikes), whizzing past the villages just outside Volcanoes National Park with visions of silver back gorillas dancing in our heads.
