How was the weather this week?:

We are finally coming out of the rainy season, so most days this week were sunny. The temperature right now is perfect--in the 70s. In the mornings, I like to sit on my balcony and sip some chai while looking out at the hills.

What animals did I see this week? :

Being in the city, I didn’t see as many cool animals, like gorillas or monkeys, but I did see some majestic birds. There is even a bird sanctuary called the Ndungundu EcoWetlands 15 minutes from my house. It is a 120-hectare (300-acre) park with ponds, forests, medicinal plant gardens and bike lanes. The government built this space in 2020 to help reduce flood risks and provide a natural sanctuary in Kigali. 

What was the coolest thing I saw in nature this week?:

Something that was surprising to me when I first started working at my school in Kigali was the lack of monkeys.
