Routine Day

Borrowed from tht Ujama1 blog

Work days have settled into a routine. The doctors and nurses are leaving in the morning to round on patients, do surgeries, teach lessons. Folks are getting more comfortable with public transport. Many have abandoned fear and jumped on a moto (small motorcycles) that are ubiquitous. Helmet passed back to the passenger, they zoom in between cars, up the wrong way on one way streets and cost about 1/4 of a taxi.Our kinyrwandan purple dictionaries are stuffed into white coats, back pockets and purses. Folks are mastereing the basic greetings in both the local language and French.We no longer move as a group as members are venturing out on their own for meals, shopping and exploration.
