Today was a fun day it started out with getting to the center a little late because today was the community service day which is the last Saturday of the month and that's when everyone comes out to beautify the area the streets it's mandatory there are no traffic no very few motorcycles between the hours of 9:00 and 12:00. I find it amusing that as we're walking to the center some people we know come out and call on name it just feels so homey that here I am in Rwanda and people know me and Colleen. So we spent some time at the center and then we went and met Rebecca for lunch so it was just the three girls we had a lot of good conversation and then we went to Rebecca and bashir's rented home which is very nice actually and we was spent the afternoon with Sophia in the beginning she was a little hesitant and then eventually she really warmed up to us we had a lot of fun with her reminded me of my own granddaughter Sydney same age they're only a month apart and what fun it would be if the two of them got together. So tomorrow Colleen and I are going to visit odile she stayed in my house with her then fiance Patrick who runs the gazeemba orphanage she had a very terrible accident that put her in a wheelchair we don't know what her condition is right now she did graduate from Yale and we don't know what the situation is going to be but we are going to spend time with her tomorrow all right so enjoy the pictures for today I didn't see my monkeys this morning maybe they'll be out tomorrow
