So yesterday during the church service, it rained for the first time since we arrived 10 days ago.
The rainy season is September and October and then April. I am told that you know when it going to rain because around lunch time a wind will get up, and can be quite strong and then suddenly a really heavy shower starts. When it is at its worst the very deep flood troughs on each side of the road flow very fast and quite dangerously.
Yesterday was really quite mild. When the first rains start the roads get quite slippery, and Pete says loads of cars end up in the ditch - so we drove carefully. Well thats a bit relative. We were coming down this steep hill, when we came upon this guy on a bike. We clocked him doing 70 km per hour! - not bad considering the amount of bananas on the back of his bicycle (no its not a motorbike) and the wet surface.
Anyway, while I am on bananas, the Rwandan bananas are really great, and we are consuming several each day. A fact I learned yesterday, is that bananas are hallucinogenic - which would certainly explain some of my strange blogging, and the movement in Rogers feet during the service - definitely looked like dancing feet to me, but I must be just seeing things - hope the video upload to You Tube goes well!
