our time in bujumbura, burundi was fabulous. we lived with doug and deanna (madeline and elise) hiebert (lars' sisters family), and/or brandon thiessen for our entire stay. first off, thanks to doug and deanna and brando for taking us around buj-town, opening your homes to us and showing us so much hospitality. here are some highlights from our stay:
* musee vivant de bujumbura (see previous post)
* bushwacking in the mountains outside of buj (doug was a hero and took most of the scrapes)
* our mini-trip into the d. r. congo (nothing can go wrongo in the congo? yeah right rafi...i guess you've never been there)
* getting the "ins and outs" of mcc burundi/rwanda/east congo
* lars being told he looks like harry potter (yes, the hype is in central africa too)
* me being told - on a regular basis - that i look like jesus (let's keep that stereotype going shall we?)
* playing with maddy (she's the cutest kid ever...a future heartbreaker for sure!)
* watching lars hold elise ("like a football lars")
* catching and killing gustav the legendary 75m crocodile with our bare hands (do a google search on gustav and see what comes up)
* body surfing lake tanganyika with brando
* rhubarb crumble at d & d's
* our big game of ultimate frisbee
* lars' mango worm (see previous post)
*having my own wing at chez hiebert
*brandon's coffee
note: missing in photo - elise (likely "sleeping")

And while I'm on the subject, let me say something about Harry Potter. Warlocks are the enemies of God! And I don't care what kind of hero they are, they're an enemy of God and had it been in the old testament Harry Potter would have been put to death!
hey guys. i never did get to say a proper farewell but it was great to have met you and i look forward to hearing of the rest of your adventures as you follow 'the only road south'. happy travels! ~sara
ps. lars, i could really use some pointers on that football hold you perfected with elise. it's a tough one.
