Just a Normal Day at the Shop


It was a long day today.  I stopped at the market to get fresh tomatoes for pizza Friday.  When I finally arrived at the shop, they had the ice cream sitting out waiting for the people to pick it up…. It was only 9:30 and they were picking it up at 11.  They also did not make more ice cream… we were short 120 small cups.

Although it was a tough day, we got through it.  Business has been really slow so the big order for ice cream was very important.  I am working with Louise to figure out our financials.  It may take the full three weeks.

I have decided to visit the Gorillas, if I can get a permit.  I am very excited.  I guess you only live once.  I have put together all my travel plans.  I am trying to limit the cost, but being a single traveler has its drawbacks.

I really miss everyone and am looking forward to the end of March.  Although I really enjoy the fact that I can really make a difference, I still have a hard time being away from family and friends.  I always get a little sentimental after the first week.

Rwanda is beautiful.  The people are beautiful.  I am hoping that I can return and be a tourist.  Although, I feel tourism does not really give you a full understanding of the culture of the country.

OK, I found my Malaria pills and am taking them.  The ones I found at the local pharmacy may result in nightmares.  I feel I am safe in taking them because I don’t get to sleep much with all the noise.  Who would have thought I would find a benefit to sleepless nights.

Have a great evening, Paula
