Father's Day Hike

It's really hard to find wide open space in Rwanda. There are people all over - it is one of the most densly packed countries on the continent. A huge change from the Navajo Nation. Our friends, Duncan, Laura, Taylor and Conner know that we love to hike so they invited us for a Father's Day hike up Mount Kigali. We met up at 9am and soon we had found a place to park and we began the uphill climb. Rwanda is known as the land of a thousand hills and this was just one of the hills. A steep single lane road with washed out trenches from the rains and little houses built into the sides of the road. Of course we attracted our fair share of attention and had company the entire hike. I think there was a moment of about 10 minutes when we were all by ourselves. The views from the top were amazing and the ecupalyptus trees smelled so good.
