Life in Rwanda, Akagera, more craziness..
... giraffes fighting. It looked like they were fighting for mating rights and was one of the coolest things of the day.
We continued on to where there are a lot of lakes. The first lake we stopped at had about 20 hippos really close to the shore. These things are massive, but move so elegantly through the water. They kind of remind me of manatees. We didn't think to leave the car as hippos can be extremely territorial and aggressive. Hippos actually kill more ...
Lake Munkamba, change of plans.. Rwanda!!
... lake is a little over 60 miles away (halfway to Mbuji Mayi (next large city and means goat water)). They said it usually takes 4 hours to get to the lake on a good day. Once again that shows you how bad the roads are out here. It was cool to see the landscape and lifestyles from village to village. We stopped on the way to pickup charcoal to heat our food. And for lunch we stopped along the way to get three hands (bushels) of bananas. This was like stopping for fast-food, except ...
Emma's home for our last lunch in Kigali
... and I have to say I didn't like it. But I loved everything else. Boiled cassava, potatoes, green beans, meat in a tomato based sauce, plantains and more.
The best part of the event was sharing our feelings about Emma and the experiences we had over the past 3 weeks. Emma is a wonderful, kind and giving person. We wish him much success in his life and know he will succeed in whatever he chooses do.

And So It Begins...

So in order to really develop the sport in Rwanda, we have to start from the very beginning and I have to think back to how I was taught when I was 9 years old.. That was a long time ago! Olo. But we did a good job for the most part trying not to throw too many ...
First Coach's Clinic and December Classic
... ride. Pretty funny considering in America, or especially on a NYC subway, people just simply wouldn’t have that.
There is this song that gets played everywhere, all the time. I don’t even know if it’s a good song, or if I even had a chance to decide for myself if it’s a good song, but everyone else thinks so, so I kinda have to think it is. Ngabo played it on repeat 20 times the other night while we were cooking.
