Mr. Saturday Night

I have a new roomate!
There's a gecko (who has lost his tail) who didn't seem to want to leave the other night, so I let him stay. Figured someone who eats mosquitos would be a good choice, and I haven't been let down yet.
Things are still going well, God-willing. Filmed teacher interviews yesterday, and economics class today. We've broken down most of our filming days into 3 or 4 hour blocks. This allows us to remain rested and fresh, and also gives Christine time to digest the footage we're gathering and really have an accurate idea of where we stand.
Immaculate Conception is a very positive environment for filmmaking. The teachers have all eagerly welcomed us into their classrooms, and the students wave and say hello to us (often by name) whenever we pass. In most cases here, the people are very very friendly to us. There's a chef and hospitality expert living at the convent for two or three days, teaching a course to the nuns who will be running a new guest house that is opening nearby. This means we have a Kigali hotel's head chef cooking our meals. Excellent.
That's all for now, check out the slideshow/picassa album I've linked to the blog.

Paris is gorgeous but I'm glad you're in Rwanda instead.

Does your roommate have a name?

We have a new roommate too, but he's made of kittenbits, not geckobits (also, ours has a tail).
