The 90 Day Rule

This one is from Saturday...

There is an unwritten rule (as an aside, why does this expression exist? Do all rules have to be written?) that every 90 days, someone living overseas should take a break from their day to day, and take a brief break. Folks, it has been 84 days since I returned to Rwanda, and I need a break.

Don’t worry, everything is fine. Life is really good here. My extracurricular projects are going well, teaching at CHUB is going well, and I am the happiest I have ever been. But this time, I feel this need to take a break for a while. There is nothing in particular that is happening, but I am feeling antsy and tired, so this is a good time to go.

Luckily, one of my best friends from New Orleans is arriving tonite along with his girlfriend. We are going on a tour of Rwanda for a week: they will see my life in Butare, then we will go to Nyungwe Forest, then Gisenyi, then Musanze so they can go see the gorillas. I will be doing other things in Musanze while they are seeing the Gorillas in the Mist (more on what those “things” are in a few weeks once I can say more!) They leave next Saturday for Tanzania and the Serengeti; I am heading to the beaches south of Mombasa for some sun, sand, and swimming. I am pretty stoked.

I am bringing my computer with me, as it won’t be an entirely work-free vacation, so I will keep blogging daily as promised.

Until next time...

Love life, Find meaning, and Be happy,

Craiger
