Distance: (Travel by bus.)
Country: Rwanda
Song of the Day: Just Watch the Fireworks - Jimmy Eat World
The group of us left Jenny's place and got on a mutatu going to Kibungo. When we got there, the goat had already been slaughtered and roasted. No gory pictures for you. We did get there in time for food though. For me, the next few hours were a combination of conversation and consumption.
There were a bunch of really cool people there. A lot of Peace Corps volunteers, but a few who worked for other NGOs. One girl brought her parents, who were actually lots of fun to talk to. There were even a couple of Brits there. I should have razzed them more with "Down with the British" kind of stuff, but I forgot. I think there were over 30 people there.
In the evening we played a few party games. Pictionary was lots of fun, but terribly difficult. We had words like "translucent", "Magna Carta", and "ambivalent". That made it a low scoring game. No complaints for me though. It was funny to see what people would come up with for the words.
Once people started going to bed, there was a land rush for a place on the floor. It was every person for themselves to try and grab some concrete and a blanket. I guess that is what happens when you cram 30 people into a house.
Despite not having fireworks, the evening was quite fun.
