On the Mend

We had a very relaxing day today. Janice and I have both been sick with fever and cough but are finally on the mend today!! On arrival to the ORs today, it turned out that on Fridays they normally do Neurosurgery and OMF on Fridays, but they had no surgeries to do. We decided to come back to Kigali early, and go to Akagera for a safari tomorrow instead of visiting the chimps of Nyungwe this weekend. We had a lovely drive back from Butare. The countryside is idyllic: green and lush with children and goats frolicking through. We’re constantly amazed at the size and weight of things that people are able to carry for miles on their heads. It’s quite a talent. Some irony too- we saw 2 different people carrying backpacks on their heads. I guess it’s easiest to do things the way you’re used to!
