Five months later we meet again to continue our journey with the Ashe's around Rwanda!
(Sorry I've been away so long!)
(Sorry I've been away so long!)
Before we leave Villa Gorilla we have
a hot breakfast near the hot fire!  |
| What a great time we had here at this sweet little place! Thanks, Gilbert!What a super birthday and family time it was together! |
 |
| The men and women were already out in the fields working away. |
 |
| And the cows were out grazing in the foothills. |
 |
| Katherine atop the brick wall next to the monkey sign. Love this sweetness! |
 |
| Grampa holds onto K as she is perched near the giant gorilla statue. This is the place the gorilla treks leave from each day. All "5 visible" hands down-- the gorilla treks are the experience of a lifetime. We didn't go this time..because children can't go and it is a bit pricey…. but if you ever can go… do it! |
 |
| Going on down the road the loggers were sawing away so we went to take a closer look. |
 |
| This is the smoker where they make charcoal from the wood. I don't know how they do it… but this is the beginning of the process! |
 |
| These men love showing us their work and how well they do it! |
 |
| We headed south and drove up the beautiful lush fields of the Sorwathe Tea Plantation. Always a treat! |
 |
| Once on top there is a lookout /tennis court/ guest house. |
 |
| Lush? Very!! We had drinks and lunch and simply soaked in the surroundings! |
 |
| Close shot straight down at the tea bushes. |
 |
| They carpet the hills with variegated colors of green! |
 |
| And these three little tea cups just make them all the more great to look at!! |
 |
| The Family Five! |
 |
| Where is THIS church directory photo when you need it? |
 |
| I wonder who is telling whom-what? Our littlest flower bud! |
 |
| On our way out! |
 |
| These kids are hitchin' a ride down the hill! It is about 45 minutes to the main road. |
 |
| Both the entrance and exit of the Sorwathe Tea Plantation. Quite welcoming and warm are these TALL eucalyptus. |
 |
| View on the way down the mountain and on the way back home to Kigali! What a couple of days we have had… Now back for a little rest before we go on our next outings. From Volcanoes and Birthdays and Sights in between… Just our Cup of Tea! love, margie |
