At Christmas time Innocent's Bible Study and Outreach Group
held a retreat at our house. One Sunday afternoon a few representatives presented us with a thank you gift.
We had fun talking |
for awhile and then they presented us with… |
…a beautiful picture of all of them ( except Innocent-- He took the picture) There is a spot left for us to photo shop him in!! This is a dear gift from these wonderful young people! |
You just never know what will cross your path on any given day! |
When we moved to Kigali in 2012 the hillside now covered with houses was empty. Every month it gets closer and closer to completion. |
Some closer looks at the houses on the hill. |
This is opposite that hillside with homes and hotels and restaurants that have been completed long ago. |
What separates them is this small valley where a large herd of cows owned by the Batwa live. |
Sometimes they get a way from the herd and head to the road… |
Right on the road, as a matter of fact! I like these times. |
Just a pretty late afternoon looking across all the hills of the city. |
As you can see there is still plenty of room for development and most of us wish they would build some smaller homes instead of these giant ones! |
This is a more recent shot of our bumpy, unpaved street during the wet season. |
Each wall is surrounded by beauty inside and out. |
This is one of my favorite landscaping styles… simply corn and beans! |
And these are shots looking out our bedroom balcony away from the city and into the countryside. |
You can see the Rwandan homes up in the hills…They walk a long way to get anywhere. |
A little village in the valley, |
Sun contrast! |
It was a pretty late afternoon! |
Our wall and laundry line… and the backyard neighbors. ( not) |
This orange house has gone up since we moved in, too and the one directly behind it. |
