So Maddie and I are obsessed with Kigali (Rwanda's capital) partly because of the coffee store... AND because we found this post on Wikipedia that we found hilarious...
Transportation:
Kigali is a relatively easy town to drive yourself around in if you have a car. Other transportation options are mini-vans, taxis and moto taxis. The minivans are jammed full of up to 18 people at any time and generally do not leave until completely full. They are cheap but inherently unsafe because of the overcrowding, bald tires, poor maintenance, and seeming lack of any sort of training by the drivers. Taxis are convenient if you are starting from the city center, but due to the lack of street names and/or addresses the taxis are hard, if not impossible, to call to pick you up from a residential area. They are also generally unavailable after 9PM or on Sundays. The cost to get almost anywhere in the city is about $8. Moto taxis are inexpensive but completely unsafe.
So... that made us feel great
Goodnight!!

Jessica: I love your blog and your experiences. A little concerned about the transportation. Aren't there limos? Kidding. I miss you and am a little teary thinking about you so far away and so grown up.
I can't believe you're eating gu. Did you get it from Uncle Steve? He sells it. He could have gotten it for you. I hope you have enough. Is the food good? Where are you now? Your mom said you're moving soon. We're all good. Kids are in a few camps and swimming like crazy people. Im going to visit my friend Leta in Huntsville, AL tomorrow. Do you remember her?
