unknown cousins and rwandan rain

tonight i met a cousin i'd never even heard of before yesterday. yes. i met her here in rwanda. i got an email from my uncle introducing the two of us virtually because he knew she was studying here, and that i come here every so often. miraculously, we are both in kigali. so tonight we went to dinner. how crazy is that?! and she's super cool and fun, and was able to tolerate my jetlag-induced stupidity. so she gets major props for that.

this picture actually has nothing to do with meeting this unknown cousin i've mine except for the fact that she was sitting across the table from me when i took this. it had just started raining, and i loved that i could barely discern the changes in the leaves' colors around the light. and that's all there is to it.

p.s. and dang! check it! internet still good! huzzah!
