I found the Holy Grail!

A bit over a month ago I walked into Gisenyi's posh western restaurant (rare steak! pizza!) and was literally rendered speechless by the man standing at the bar in this T-shirt. I offered to buy it and after a little discussion he and his friend agreed to give it to me for free after laundering it. It took me several phone calls over the course of a few weeks to follow up on it, but I am now the bittersweetly proud owner of this shirt!

As for other news, I finally moved into my new house and I'm planning to put in some quality time in the village. I'll keep typing blogs but not sure when I'll have the time online to upload them, especially blogs with pictures.

T-shirts from home

Yesterday in Kigali I got on the wrong bus. City buses in Kigali cost 180RWF, or about 30 cents. Or almost two sambusa! It ended up being entirely worth it when the bus drove past a guy wearing a genuine Yankees Suck t-shirt. In Remera, Kigali. Made my day, but I didn’t have my camera out.

Then today at a market in the middle of nowhere I ran across a t-shirt for Haverford College women’s tennis. Haverford is a sister school of my alma mater, Swarthmore, so it was rather uncanny.
