Sunday, May 30, 2010. Muzungu in the Mist. Last weekend we went with friends to hang with gorillas at the foot of the volcanoes of Ruhengeri in northern Rwanda. Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Rwanda share this magnificent land and the groups of mountain gorillas in them. Here are a few pictures. We were awakened the next morning at 5 am with coffee at our door, and by 6 am the rest of us were on the road in a huge 4x4 to the meeting spot for gorilla-lovers. By 7:30 am we were part of a gro...

Saturday, April 24, 2010. March to remember the victims of the genocide from the. District of Nyarungenge (our neighborhood). The month of April is devoted to remembering the victims of the 1994 genocide.

During this month, celebrations are strongly discouraged- no weddings, parties, etc. It is a. Still, in the context of remembering, it was a weird speech.]. Below are some link...

Kigali 2010: March 2010
http://wootters.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 31, 2010. This is the first thing I see most mornings. We sleep with a mosquito net and the veranda door open. You have read my complaints about all sorts of things, almost all of them having to do with technology or the lack thereof. However, there is one thing I think I will never get tired of: Sunrises and sunsets that are so beautiful they break your heart. Every day. About morning at the guest house, you'll know that the cleaning staff start early. Tuesday, March 30, 2010. From what...

Kigali 2010: Ethiopia
http://wootters.blogspot.com/2010/05/ethiopia.html
Monday, May 17, 2010. During the first week of May, Bill and I traveled with our friends Kathy and Gerise to Ethiopia. In a nutshell: what a place! We flew to Addis Ababa, one of the craziest cities in the world (so they say), and from there we visited Bahir Dar, Gondar, and Lalibela. This is the historic Ethiopian Orthodox Church Crawl. If we had had a few more days, we might have included Axum, which has some serious history going on, but we didn't. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

6655 SW Wilson Avenue. Saturday, September 27, 2008. Winter Squash and Leek Quiche. We went to the farmer's market again and I decided to buy a pumpkin-looking sort of squash and some leeks. I browsed around through some recipes combining squash and leeks and we finally decided to make quiches. I adapted this recipe. By adding ground beef and I used a different pie crust recipe that included sage in the dough. Very tasty. We ate one and put the other in the freezer for a quick dinner later. With a moon l...
