We left early this morning to go on a trip to Kinigi to get footage of the country side of Rwanda, and it was a mini-family vacation. What better way to mix work and play! We caught a 2 hour bus ride to Kinigi, Rwanda. It was an amazing ride. The whole time you are on the side’s of mountains and hills overlooking the country. It was that bumpy African road we all know and love, but with the beautiful view, it was as if the bumps smoothed out into a calm road. It was the bluest of sky’s, deep valleys, mountains and hills, streams, and more green than you could imagin. You couldn’t help but sit back and thank God for letting us witness his beauty. As we drew closer to the Sabyno village, Erin pointed out 3 massive volcanos. I have never seen a volcano before, let alone 3. I was awe struck! Once we arrived in a near by village, we were staying at a hostel there.
We met up with a few local kids who showed us around and helped us find the best spots to film. We filmed villages, valleys, the volcanos, and then after we had been working for the day, Erin pulled out a soccer ball and the kids picked teams and the games began. Ricky and Seth played soccer with the kids while I filmed the game for some extra footage. That night we sat on the porch of the hostel and watched the sun set while sipping on some African tea.
We woke up early the next morning to see and do a time laps of the sunrise over the volcano’s. Now that was beyond magical. That day we got some of the best footage we have gotten over the whole trip!
