Today might have been our best day this visit. We began with a teaching session with
three residents in the morning.
They are hungry to learn.
Mat covered sepsis and modes of ventilation. They were still asking questions even after the session was
done. Mat was very touched when
the residents asked him to please come back to Rwanda to continue to teach
them.
Michelle arrived in Butare and we joined her at Café
Connection for some extra delicious coffee. She and I didn’t stop talking with each other during
the 2½ hour ride to Nyungwe Forest.
We are very happy to be together again.
Nyungwe is over 1,000 km sq of stunning rainforest. The forest is a feast for the senses:
stunning views, earthy smells, and piercing birdcalls. We hiked to the canopy – a suspended
walkway over the treetops. It is a
most wonderful feeling to hang in space surrounded by the verdant forest.
We arrived at the Top View Hotel before dark. This lovely hotel is perched on top of
a very high hill with views of Lake Kivu on one side, Nyungwe Forest on the
other and tea plantations surrounding.
We just had a great meal and some belly laughs (Michelle has a wonderful
sense of humour).
