...it's taking too long. I'll have to reduce file size and get them up later today.
In the meantime, thought I'd share the variety of ways Vee and I woke up this morning. First, at 4:45am, we woke to a gentleman running down a nearby road shouting something in kinyarwanda that I swear was "WAKE UP...WAKE UP...WAKE UP!" He was either on his way home from a great night out at one of the local "saloons" or was nominated as the town wake-up call by the elders. Second, at 5:30, we woke up again to two birds in a nearby tree with the highest pitched call ever. This was when I knew there was no way I was returning back to sleep. I thought I'd try anyway and grabbed my iPhone to put on some David Gray. Third, at 6:05, a few of the maintenance guys from the hotel decided to start chopping down an avocado tree 30-40 feet from our room's door (this was later confirmed when I walked down to breakfast). Finally, at 6:30, the maintenance workers that cut down the tree decided it was time to chop it up...only 10 feet from our front door on the other side of the shrubs.
As I sit here typing this (after a shower, breakfast, and two cups of instant coffee), it's 7:30 and my phone alarm is just now going off.
Good morning...Rwanda-style!!
