Rwanda is beautiful

There aren't words that effectively describe the incredibe beauty of this country.  Nor can I capture enough pictures that really show the grand landscapes, well tended homes, and amazing people of this magical place.  I've certainly tried, though!

These photos are just a small sampling of some of the beauty of Rwanda that we saw today.

Weaver birds in the tree in front of the Dereva Hotel where we are staying.  There are probably 50-60 nests in this tree alone.

A tree across the street is a favorite of these cranes - and 10 or so can be seen in and around the tree at any time.

The road from the hotel heading further east into Gatsibo.

Amazing vistas seem to be around every corner.

We met this little fellow at a livestock cooperative.  He was quite shy but amazingly adorable.

Also at the cooperative, a baby asleep on his mother's back.

The view from Jambo Beach, where we ate lunch.
