When Bruce turned 50 I surprised him
with a trip to Paris for 4 days.
When Bruce turned 60 were living in Rwanda....
so I surprised him with a 4 day trip
to 2 towns on Lake Kivu in Rwanda!
Gisenyi and Kibuye!
 |
| On the road to Gisenyi. |
 |
| We came upon a soccer game with a bunch of cows at one end. |
 |
| We stopped to take a closer look and this guy was running right towards us. |
 |
| This guy cut him off and then we realized ... |
 |
| We were seeing our first cattle sale. |
 |
| Men and cows everywhere... |
 |
| This guy was telling us that these were all his. |
 |
| Curious kids! |
 |
| Grazing cows... |
 |
| Relaxing men... |
 |
| Kids seeing us off... |
 |
| Passing a refugee camp. |
 |
| A man with his jerrycans! |
 |
| Finally we arrive at the first surprise place. The Palm Garden Resort. |
 |
| It was just about sundown when we arrived. |
 |
But still beautiful....Hey, Bruce... They took us to our little house... |
 |
| With one room and not much furniture. I forgot to take a picture of the bathroom that was outside the door...but inside the house. It had a gravel floor but it was an "outdoor" bathroom. Covered in vines from the "ceiling" and ferns growing up from the floor. I can't believe i didn't take any pictures of it... What is wrong with me? |
 |
| Right outside the front door, though was this. |
 |
| Last picture of the evening.. but in the daylight it looked like.... |
 |
| this! |
 |
| Bruce starting out early on the lake.. |
 |
| Nothing to do here but relax, read and enjoy the beauty! |
 |
| Great place for breakfast! |
 |
| In the evening they served meals in an open air lodge with a fire blazing every night next to this character! ( He is a bench) |
 |
| Last morning of our stay here.. Found this dahlia... a surprise. |
 |
| And something virtually like an azalea. |
 |
| Catching up before we go....to the next stop! |
Great but short stay at Palm Garden Resort.
Quite small but tucked away in a fantastic location!
It was a great start to give Bruce
a place to relax and not work so hard.
And of course, I enjoyed it, too!
Happy Birthday, Bruce..
love,
margie
