My hands shake as I write this, having been goaded into putting something approaching the typical Rwandan amount of sugar in my tea this morning (I actually only put in 3 of the recommended 5 spoonfuls). I was already jittery from my coffee w/ breakfast, which was probably some of the best coffee I've ever had.

Trip over was very long, still fighting off jet lag. Very warm and humid here, so between that and the jet lag didn't get much sleep last night. Feeling fine now (see above.)

The internet is still a disaster, so I'll hopefully post some pics later. I don't have administrative privileges on my computer, so I'm still waiting to be able to access in the office. As a result, haven't done any real work yet, and am still trying to get set up and figure out who I will be working with.

Kigali is very beautiful, with tropical vegetation and very hilly. Will post more later.
