So, I finally met Rica, the woman that is the reason I came here. We met at Bourbon Coffee (the hot spot in Kigali) randomly last Saturday. I was with Marc and Dadi because we were supposed to meet with the Mkting Manager and a young girl came up to our table and started rubbing my hair (which was down) and said "are you called Kate?" As she continued to run her fingers through my hair, I looked at her and was trying to figure out who she was. I had no idea so just answered, "yes" and as I looked up I saw her mom, Rica. It was so great to see her. She is such a wonderful lady and we plan to meet up soon for lunch.
Anyway, the girl (6), I forget her name, and her brother (7) came back over to our table and started playing with Dadi and Marc. The son went through his homework with Dadi and the girl was busy basically beating up Marc. After about 10 mins, the girl looks at me, then looks at Marc and says to Marc, "is she your sister?" He said "yes" and then without a pause she asked if I was older or younger and then she got a very puzzled look on her face...she looked at Marc, she looked at me, and then said, "but, she's pink."
It was great! We all started laughing because she was so serious and so confused. I completely forgot that story until I saw Marc today and he reminded me, I knew you guys would like it so I thought I'd share!
I am so happy here. I feel like I have been given the gift of brothers. GLeo is my numero uno brother but now I have a couple. It's so great and I am so blessed.
LOVE YOU.
