Gisenyi/Akagera pictures


Sunset on Lake Kivu


Hi all!  Here are some long overdue pictures of a trip I took to Gisenyi.  A friend and I rented bikes and took them on a trail that winds alongside Lake Kivu.  It was really beautiful, and we saw lots of kids along the way.  They all laughed at my Kinyarwanda, but I’m just going to pretend it’s because they were surprised at how good it was...



Kids beside the trail - so cute!

I’m also posting some pictures of a trip I took with the Kings to Akagera Park in eastern Rwanda.  We (the Kings, Louise’s parents Bill and Lydia, and I) stayed in the lodge the first  night, then we met up with our cousins Sam and James to camp out the second night.  We saw a good bit of game - zebra, giraffes, topi, hippos, warthogs, and crocodiles, to name a few.  Hope y'all enjoy the pictures!  Will post again soon with updates on school, etc.
