Rwanda

Postby FsNovice » Wed Mar 04, 2009 3:31 pm

Recently, with my school, i was selected to go on a trip to Rwanda to make a visit to our link school in the capital. To be fair, it wasn't all that hard to put my name forward in the first place, heard so much about this country, especially it's vast number of hills ("Land of a thousand hills")

Think that second photo is just a view of the roadside, pretty common view over there from the road. Presume it could be housing? Sorry to be so vague

Im also curious about the junk shown there... that yellow shed-thing looks like it may have been a railroad car (cargo?) at one time.

Kudos to FSNovice... it's great to see some snaps from Africa! :)

My wife wanted me to say that she loves those zebra shots.   :)  Me personally I like the baboon shot, reminds me of some Sailors I know...
