I’m in the middle of a week-long break in Rwanda and it’s done me a whole lot of good. My friends here genuinely accept me as member of their family. Friendship is a rich blessing. Cross cultural friendships are a special gift. I get to be the wacky American uncle and it is a lot of fun. I’m not often free to goof around with kids in Kisangani so I ratchet up my silliness in Gisenyi with the kids. The food here is also great and I even get to help cook in an African kitchen. I get my fill of things that are scarce in Kisangani: potatoes, green peas, carrots, cabbage! Conversations focus on another angle of Congo politics and another set of challenges. The weather here in Gisenyi is very moderate and cool. Just a few hundred miles from my Kisangani home, but it’s a complete change of pace.
