Rwanda - Lake Kivu

Ken, Misti, and little Simone
Post-ride Celebration at Paradise, we were fed great food, complements of the owner!

He's having it rough...
Every night the fisherman leave the village by boat, hand paddling, humming and singing a song that carries over the water. They return early in the morning, truly a beautiful sight.

Another relaxing couple of days at Lake Kivu happened to be a very adventurous introduction to Rwanda. Our first afternoon Mike and I ran through the village, accompanied by about 50 to 80 children, older ones who ran our entire run, and others so little (4 to 5 yrs old!), running along side in flip flops!

We then had our first mountain bike adventure with Ken, again descending trails not so much meant for bicycles, but rather skinny walking paths through fields of beans, corn, and sorghum. The trail was pretty difficult, but we couldn't help but enjoy the excercise, especially to finish up with some complementary food provided by our hotel Paradise.
