Oh what a wonderful surprise Rwanda is… such a beautiful country healing and moving on after The Genocide… the people are beautiful, always dressed so beautifully in traditional fabrics and styles… they are organised and value the tourist trade… the roads are good and the streets are so clean.

Today we visited the ‘Kigali Genocide Memorial’… I cried before I got there… I cried while I was there… and I cry some more while I write this… and that will not be enough crying … so you might have guessed this may be an uncomfortable read… but it is in that place of discomfort […]
