Went swimming in the lake, surprised how warm it was. I guess that's what happens when a lake is above an active...

Rwanda (of course), Uganda, Burundi, Kenya, and Tanzania ? and two more are definitely on tap; Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Ethiopia.Before arriving in Rwanda, I was settled with the idea that I'd more or less be only in Rwanda during my time here.

(sunset behind the house in Nyagatare)"Though nothing can bring back the hourOf splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower;We will grieve not, rather findStrength in what remains behind;In the primal sympathyWhich having been must ever be;In the soothing thoughts that springOut of human suffering;In the faith that looks through death,In years that bring the philosophic mind." -William Wordsworth, "Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood"---------------------
