The next few posts that you will read are about my vacation! I thought hard about what I wanted to do for the vacation. As I was thinking about my plan, some of the girls in my family began to ask me to visit them. I then decided that I would visit all the girls in my family that invited me to come to their homes. I collected all of their phones and set a plan to visit. I’m not sure what to expect when I visit. I know that you can better understand someone when you find out their history and where they come from. I’m hoping this experience will bring me even closer to these girls that I have already come to love so much! I have a map of Rwanda on the right panel so when I mention names of places, you can have a reference of where they are located.
My first order of business was to cook American hamburgers for my friend Gilbert’s mom. First I had to go to the meat market in Nyabugogo and then to the grocery store that caters to foreigners for ketchup, mustard, cheese, and pickles…things that don’t exist in Rwandan food…can you believe that! Then we went to her home. More of our friends joined us for the afternoon. I cooked 10 hamburgers on a small coal stove so as you can imagine, it took hours. In between cooking I enjoyed watching the 4days old chicks and playing with the little girl that lives in the house. The final product was a success. Everyone enjoyed their burger, even the Rwandans!
