8.2 - Final Entry in Rwanda


This is our final entry from Rwanda.  It’s not so much a post for you as it is for us.  Our trip has been amazing and we’ve been well fed, but we’ve eaten the same thing at almost every meal since we’ve been here: eggs & toast with butter and jam for breakfast and some kind of meat with red sauce over rice, a vegetable and french fries for lunch and dinner – all of it topped off by wonderful fruits.  It’s been very good, but it’s been the same…EVERY SINGLE DAY.  That’s 12 breakfasts and 24 lunches and dinners with no variety. 

So about three days ago we began talking about what we wanted our first meals to be when we returned.  For any family and friends who are reading this and would like to know how to love your traveler well once they return, here’s a few hints:

Teresa Kincaid: Pizza & dark chocolate

Jennifer Kromhout: Mike’s steak, Alton Brown’s Mac & Cheese, roasted green beens and 12 Ice Cold Diet Cokes

Taylor Waren: Peperoni Pizza & a vanilla cupcake with chocolate icing

Sarah Hughes: Rudinos Royale Pizza

Manning Pruden: Big Buddah pizza (from Lilly’s), side salad & blood orange sorbet (see Beka Dominguez)

Hillary Dotson: Huge salad, “chocolatey” ice cream

Eric Bolash:  Giant salad and frozen pizza

Ford Jordan: Berry Cobbler (made from exotic NW berries that I can’t eat in NC) with a side of vanilla ice cream topped with amaretto 

Off to the airport in 2 hours.  Please pray for our travels.  We’ll see you soon!
