We arrive last night in the Rwandan airport after a full day of flying. We landed only to find that one piece of our luggage was not on the plane. Unfortunately it was Randy's bag with all his clothes. It also had the tripod in it, so that has the potential to slow us down. We had a great night sleep at the same hotel we stayed in last time we came through Rwanda. Now that we are in east Africa, we have to be on our guard with all we ingest, including, brushing teeth with bottled water, taking showers without allowing water to get in our eyes or mouth, even if we drink coffee we need to remember that the cup wasn't washed in clean water. It becomes very easy to forget.
We are now on the three to four hour drive to Goma on mountainous roads. Randy's bag will hopefully be picked up tomorrow and brought to the border where we can pick it up.
On the road, our contact who is helping get us from Kigali to Goma, is teaching us some Congolese songs. My son, Ryan, who loves playing zombie video games, will be excited to hear that the word for God in Swahili is Zambe, which sounds a lot like zombie. I found it humorously ironic that both have some eternal representation.
Looking forward to arrival in Goma, seeing our Congolese friends and getting to the Maji Matalivu.
