Kabuye

Kibuye is a small town on the shores of Lake Kivu. Lake Kivu is the largest of the lakes in Rwanda and is considered to be a "resort" location in the country. Half of the lake is in Rwanda while the other half is in Congo. It is a massive lake. It reminded me somewhat of being at Lake Michigan in that you couldn't see the opposite shore. There were however several beautiful islands. We hired a boat for a 1/2 hour ride out to Bat Island. The island gets its name because it is home to thousands of fruit bats. As you climb the trails, you throw rocks up into the trees. They then fly up and create a huge black cloud. It is a pretty awesome site actually.

Yes, the little black dots are all bats. Emma said, "I don't even think that Count could count all those bats!"



Emma was obsessed with Kelly's dinner. Fish...the whole fish!
Saturday was Game Day! Michigan vs. Notre Dame. Emma's response whenever someone asked about her shirt..."GO BLUE!!!"
