We've arrived!

Yesterday we left Rwanda and took the 30-minute flight to Burundi.  It was the smallest plane Ron had ever been in - 9 rows, with one seat in the back in the middle of the aisle.  A little propeller puddle jumper...I'm not going to lie and say that we weren't looking a bit askance at this little plane.  But it got us where we needed to go!  We landed in beautiful Bujumbura in the afternoon and made it to our house, which is completely amazing.  It has a rooftop terrace that overlooks the mountains on one side and Lake Tanganyika on the other.  How did we get so lucky?!  The house is so nice and has a little garden as well. 

So now we're just working on getting oriented and settling into the rhythm of life here.  We're still having waaaay too much trouble with the internet connection to upload many pictures, but I'll try to post one below, of Ron and I on the beach at Lake Tanganyika.  Those mountains in the background are the Congo!

  1. You guys look great! That doesn't look like a lake it looks like the best relaxing ocean beach ever. Ryan says so too. He also wants to know where the wakeboarding boat is.
