je suis la
hello from kigali, where the local time is 8:23pm. this won't be a long message, as it has taken me five minutes to get to this page in the first place. but I wanted to let everyone know that I have arrived. while I am safe, my luggage is another story. the flight from jfk to london was delayed by an hour, I had to run through too many hoops to get my ethiopian connection, and therefore, my bag wasn't on the flight. hopefully, it will arrive in the next day or so.
after a long afternoon of exchanging money and getting a mobile with the help of my friend aloys's brother silas, I am full of poisson grillee and ready to go back to the guesthouse. kigali is expensive and I'm trying to get my head around everything that I need to do right now. research, wow, I don't even know where to begin. but soon enough.
for those of you who have any interest my mobile number is 250 03013105. I don't expect many calls, but just in case...
until the next time, when I will hopefully not be wearing the same clothes...

Oh i am so excited for you!! Hopefully you packed a toothbrush and some extra essentials in your carry-on. Or knowing you, you probably had nothing but heavy books and knitting needles. So practical!
I'm glad you're there safe and sound. Now come back.
just caught up on your last few entries and now i see that you have arrived. hope you had a fab time at vassar and that your baggage (with all the stuff that i painstakingly helped pick out) arrives soon. much love.

wee! so glad you made it in one piece. too bad about the luggage. phooey! kigali doesn't know what's about to hit. j. pizzle in the hizzle. deep breath. you have accomplished the first goal of arriving... the rest will be stepwise and do-able. good luck and keep blogging so we can live vicariously. hugs!
