Our vacation to Lake Kivu was interrupted by some conference that stole our hotel room from us. It was relaxing while it lasted, gorgeous views, good food, new friends and cheap beer. We saw the clouds turn red with the glow of Congolese volcanoes, Dro and Ashley canoed to an island restaurant and ate goat (I was sick with a headcold) and we made friends with a nice group of American post-grads. So, with no home in Kibuye we returned to Kigali (we're staying with our new American friends who have a house outside downtown). Tomorrow it's off to Butare, followed by either Parc Nationale Nyungwe or Bujumbura. Burundi is a must visit since we already bought our visas, but when we make it there is starting to get confusing. Stupid overland transport systems. Anyhow, happy mother's day to Mom and pleasant greetings to all non-motherly readers. Tonight we're celebrating at the only Mexican resto in Rwanda. This could get interesting.
Cheers,
-Dave

Dave!
I must say that I have thoroughly enjoyed reading about your adventures and I'm really inspired by all the work that you're doing.
Remember when I told you that I was also planning to go to Africa this summer? Well, guess what! I leave for Ghana in six days.
I'll be in Accra from May 13th to June 7th. I'm staying at CEGENSA (the Center for Gender Studies and Activism) and taking two classes. If there is any way that we can meet up, please let me know.
It's always good to see you and I would love to have stories about the time I met my friend Dave half way across the world.
Take care of yourself, kiddo.
