DRC

Hey everyone!
Sorry I have not posted in a couple days (Lindsey Lewis), but I have been incredibly busy and tired.  We crossed the border into the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) yesterday, and it has been incredible.  We are staying in the city of Goma which is at the base of a active volcano. Their last eruption was not too long ago ( i do not know the exact dates) but there is pumus stone everywhere and lots of ash.  We got to visit a school for abandonded children, the UN and their peacekeeping mission here, and talk to a couple of journalists.

Though it is not as nice of a city as Kigali was Goma has exceeded expectations so far!  Kristin and John are not sick of me yet... so that is a plus.  The food here is still incredibly delicious and starchy, so I will probably gain 10 pounds. 

We are staying on Lake Kivu that borders both Rwanda and DRC.  It is asolutely beautiful.  I am trying to convince Kristin to let me swim in it!

Love you all!
