Johannes and I are saying good-bye to Rwanda today and heading off to Germany to celebrate the holidays. So now it is time to sign off from the blog forever - many thanks to all of you have read and commented on my posts over the past four months! Allow me to close with a couple top ten lists about what we'll miss from Rwanda and what we've missed from home:
Top 10 Things I’ll Miss About Rwanda When We Leave
1. Long lunches with Johannes
2. Long weekend trips with Johannes
3. Warm, sunny weather day after day after day
4. Friendly Rwandan colleagues
5. Delicious avocados, mangoes, pineapple, passion fruit, and mini-bananas
6. Shocking the locals by speaking a few phrases of Kinyarwanda
7. Monkeys! Gorillas! Chimpanzees!
8. Having a tennis coach
9. Having a chauffeur (a.k.a. Johannes)
10. Beautiful trees and flowers that grow everywhere
Top 10 Things I Miss From Back Home
1. Hanging out with my friends
2. A comfortable, normal-sized bed
3. Good beer
4. Chipotle
5. Salad
6. Eating things that Johannes cooks or bakes
7. Brushing my teeth with tap water
8. Seasons
9. My iPhone...or just generally speaking a cell phone with a battery that lasts longer than 3 brief calls
10. Wearing perfume rather than insect repellent
