The folk here in Rwanda are actively church going, and we are fortunate to overlook a local church, and get to hear the singing. On our drive round on Sunday we were able to see that Christianity is represented here in many guises from evangelists, to jehovahs witnesses, seventh day adventists and of course catholics.
Our drive round also took us to Nyamirambo - a lively district of Kigali which actually felt like Africa. Although the shops were closed as it was Sunday, there still was an element of character and unpredictability which the areas of Kigali we had seen before then lacked. I'm looking forward to going back another day. Lon of course on our drive decided to go slightly off the main road and ended up driving through unpaved dusty tracks until finally admitting that the short cut wasn't actually leading anywhere, I was glad we were in the embassies old 4x4 toyota truck which is virtually indestructible.
All our weekend driving is gradually paying off, so that we are beginning to get the hang of the lay of the land slowly but surely, and are developing our own descriptions of landmarks to navigate by, such as wedding roundabout, saucer roundabout, big roundabout etc etc
I can't believe that we have been here for two weeks already, its both a long time, and has flown by.
