After a long set of flights and a two day orientation in New York City we have at last landed in a land of green hills. We came in after dark yesterday so had no concept of our surroundings until we woke this morning to blue skies and sunshine and a view of the surrounding hills and a lake/wetland. I thought is was a good omen when swallows (I'm pretty sure...) danced above my yoga mat this morning like they had on Salt Spring Island.
The Agahozo Shalom Youth Village is beautiful and everyone is really friendly. We went for a walk today to the nearest village because it was market day. Kids followed us everywhere staring at us. The flying black pigeons- the old, sturdy, steel frame black bikes were ripping to and from town loaded with people and racks of plantains. Kids walked around chewing sugar cane, woman with babies on their backs selling beans, tomatoes and sorghum.
