Sometimes I Just Want to be Invisible!
Before I left for my trip, Solomon and I had dinner together in Rubona. I was tired after as I walked home. I was walking slowly with my head down thinking about my upcoming trip when I heard loud squeaky voices yelling….hello, hello, hello! I turned around and saw 3 young girls around 10 years old running after me. They ran up to me and began talking to me in all the English that they know. I enjoy these encounters but they become exhausting. I can’t go anywhere in Rwanda without being shouted at. Sometimes I just want to be invisible. I wish that I could take Harry Potter’s invisible cloak and just drape it over myself whenever I just didn’t want to be seen. I think one of the reasons that I’m most looking forward to Israel is the ability to just blend in and become invisible in a crowd. I think that it’s official…I never want to be famous…I don’t want people always watching me.

I hear ya. I just wrote about that in my reflections on being in Israel. It was so nice to be invisible for a week.
