So Mom tells me that quite a few people have recently told her that they enjoy reading and following my blog!  That is exciting for me since I really enjoy writing it but was never really sure that anyone was actually reading it!  So thanks for reading :)  Hope you continue to enjoy the little glimpses from our family and our life here in Rwanda.
Yesterday was a tiring day in town for me.  Mission #1: find a new (and not too expensive) fan!  There are several "western-type" stores in town that I knew would have fans but they are always way over-priced (sometimes even double the price).  So yesterday I decided to put my language and bargaining skills to the test on the street to see what I could find.  I ventured to the crowded vending streets of town where I tend to be the only "muzungu" (white person) to see what I could find.  I quickly became the entertainment of the day as I turned heads and heard whispers of "wow look at that pregnant white woman."  Of course they were not speaking English so I quickly made a fun little game out of surprising them by responding in Kinyarwanda and watching as they seemed embarrassed as they realized that I understood what they were saying about me!  It was quite entertaining on both sides, I must say.
My husband was at a pastors' seminar all day so I was on my own in my little shopping adventure this time.  It was a very tiring and very hot day but at the end of it I had found my fan and a maternity dress along with meeting some very interesting people and making a few new friends along the way.  I say it was a success! 
And after that long day, I picked my husband up at the seminar and we drove home together.  We had a relaxing evening and I slept like a baby with my new fan!  It was quite wonderful!
