Up relatively early to head to Butare. The drive is long, but once again SO beautiful. Long drives also make for great conversations for Guillaume and I. I've learned SO much from him, lots of things I'd never thought of before. On the way there I got to see the school where he went to Secondary, which is also where he met his wife. Anyway, when we got to Butare we had lunch and went to the National Museum. Then we went to the National University of Rwanda (NUR). As we were driving through the campus we saw a whole bunch of monkeys! It was so neat! We also got a short walking tour of part of the campus too, which was nice. We caught the tail end of a soccer game and saw a whole lot of students on campus, especially for a Saturday. Then we went back to our hotel for a relaxing evening. Well, it was relaxing for everyone but me, because I played more games of igisoro than I think I have in my life! Guillaume and I ended up 3-4, which I think is pretty good, since he has about 27 years of practice on me! I keep using that as an excuse, and when I win it makes it all the more exciting! :-) Oh, and by the way, there are a few rules that I'm quite certain Aloys never told us, so my skill level is changing with those too! After our games we were off to bed for a VERY early morning.
