On February 6th, after 30 hours of travel in four countries, two continent, and three airlines, I arrived safely to Kigali, Rwanda, where the plan is for me to serve my two years as a Peace Corps Volunteer in the health sector.
As soon as I walked into the airport I saw a huge sign in English: “WELCOME TO MY COUNTRY”. The advertisement was for a beer company. Clearly, I am no longer in Niger.
For now, all I can say is this country is beautiful. Everywhere I look it's green, green, green. I see why they call it land of 1,000 hills and also eternal Spring.
Stay tuned for updates… **Special thanks to Daniela for naming my blog (again).
