Day 5 From Logan's Perspective

 

Ok, so today I woke up and again faced the ice cold shower. However, today was the only day I was brave enough to actually get under the water! After breakfast we walked to a mosque, where I had the once in a life time experience of playing soccer with the older homeless children. They play all day, everyday… so I don't need to say that I had it handed to me quite a few times! … But I also had my moments. Kathy the women that runs PREFER, provides soap for them to wash with, and feeds the children was also there with her husband. Then from there we went to the dry goods market of Musanze, where I had to suffer through seven women shopping and choosing between hundreds of pieces of cloth! But, the light at the end of the tunnel was the fact that, afterwards,  I got to help Bret look for a soccer jersey… Of which ended up choosing team Rwanda!... How appropriate. From there we walked to a hotel which had a pool and internet service.  We also met , Jock, the Rwandan cycling teams coach, who was the first American to compete in the tour-de-france and also won the Iron Horse in Durango. And, it was at the pool where we got to watch a bunch of Rwandan men in tight boxer briefs swim, lift weights, and show off in general for the girls of the group! As I am writing this we are back at the house, where we will eat dinner, play games and eventually head to bed. Ok, now just walking to the hotel to post this block, I just saw a man who looks like he hates life, steamrolling dry asphalt… Nice!
