Arrive: Early morning Saturday July 16

Arrived Kilgali at 1am. No driver so chilled in the airport for a bit. Pastor gets a call from Emma, he crawls out of bed at 2am to pick us up. Nice guy. Weird place at night. Defiantly feels foreign, very quiet with the exception of the distant sound of cars and random music. Couldn’t help but think of a scene in my book “We Wish to Inform You that Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families: Stories From Rwanda” about the screams at night during the Genocide. I hate I went there so soon but that's the point of the trip. Hope it will be successful.

Hotel didn’t have a room so holed up in another hotel for a few hours till we can check into the Iris. $150 for just a few hours. Oh well, doing our bit to help the economy.

Emma is super chill and easy to travel with.
