The visitors left again, I believe they had a good time. It was a busy programme: Butare, Kibuye, Akagera and the handicapped childrens house, all within 11 days. Luckily they did not notice anything from the protests, they were in Akagera. They even saw the elephant which was hiding in the grass. Of course they also saw the more obvious animals.
As it was the first time in Africa for my uncle and aunt, they a lot to take in. We tried to explain that Rwanda is Africa for beginners. You can read or watch a lot about Africa, but you really have to see it. Rwanda is lacking the roadside cafes, music stalls and streetvendors. We do sometimes miss those sounds and smells.
At the german embassy there is still a small hut with some protestors and a bit of road is closed of guarded by a police man.
