A Visit to the Eastern Province 08/04/2011

Been a few days since the last entry!  A busy few days!!!  The last 2 days, we left the Kigeme area and went to the Eastern Province to visit our Veterinary Student, Felicien, who is attending Umutara Polytechnic University and is just about finished his third year!  It was very nice to see Felicien, he has been a very good friend since we began visiting Kigeme!  He is doing very well, and gave us a tour of the campus introducing us to the Dean of Students who continued the tour!  We also heard all about the history of the university from the assistant to the head of the university.  We learned that the government is supporting the science disciplines, so is putting more and more resources into the place!
We woke up Wednesday morning and got ready to visit the Akagera Game park, in the same area.  We saw more animals!  Zebras, giraffes, antelopes, baboons, a couple of hippos, various birds of prey and a couple we have to look up!!  We also saw an angry water buffalo, who took exception to us invading his privacy!

Unfortunately, due to a miscommunication, we stayed too long in the park and had to rush to Kigali to try and get a bus back down to Kigeme.  Almost ended up spending the night!  But thankfully, between the person accompanying us and our friends back in Kigeme, arrangements were made!  We arrived back in Kigeme after 10 pm, exhausted and hungry (breakfast was a lot earlier!)
