Hotel Rwanda

It's hard to imagine what this country has gone through just over a decade ago.

We were able to head into the Capital Kigali to visit the Genocide memorial which was a very eye opening experience on what the people went through. It's amazing to realize how much impact the West has on the rest of the world. A bit too much if you ask me.

Rwanda is a beautiful country. Our 2 hour ride into Kigali went through some extrodinary mountains. I swear the entire country is mountainous. There were very few cars on the road. Not sure why but most people walk or ride bikes through these hills.

The people were extremely friendly. I can't imagine what they are going through right now since most of these people have been affected by the 1994 Genocide in some way. They are a very strong people and it's amazing how they have been able to cope with it.

On our way out, we did manage to swing by Hotel Milles Collines, made famous by the movie.

I only wish we had another day to experience Rwanda more. One of the big problems with a tour is it's tight schedule.

Hopefully we will one day be able to come back in for a longer visit.
