Waiting in London for our flight to Nairobi.

Safe and Sound at the Hotel Gorillas!

After 36 hours of travel and layovers, we're in Kigali at the Hotel Gorillas. A number of students are already touring the hotel's neighborhood. Others are crashed in their rooms after welcome showers.

Kigali is hilly and humid. Mopeds and taxi vans clog the streets. Kids charm you with their smiles. Lots of folks walking everywhere. And colors are bright and bold. You hear French and Swahili and English.

Tomorrow (Sunday) we start the day with a local Anglican church service. The music, we are told, will be amazing.

Monday we get down to work.
