Langour

"Langour is underrated.  It is not possible to be immobile in modern urban society except by dint of constant effort.  Holding on tightly to the riverbank and fighting the current is not langour.  Nobody likes that.  But bone-lazy idleness, hours and hours spent staring at the sky and remembering books and birthdays and graet kisses: this is a pure pleasure that eludes the productive in all their confident superiority.  Langour is sunny and hot.  It is at home near the sa and is best appreciated in environments of beauty and limited promise.  It contains within it the idea of boredom, but is also coloured by idle fancy, and the understanding that some things proceed best with limited attention.  Fishing, for instance.  If you're always reeling in and checking your bait, you'll only worsen your chances.  Relax."
- Kevin Patterson, The Water in Between

Rwanda has been a place full of langour.  It's been lovely.  All the more lovely because oddly enough, here our relaxed paced is only accentuated by the surprisingly quick pace of the Rwandans around us.  The past few days have been full of delicious food, cold beers drank slowly, long walks in the sun, and good conversations.

I don't feel like I've really learned all that much about Rwanda and certainly there is more to explore, but we're moving on; North to Uganda where the people are friendly, the pace is slow, and the mountain gorillas roam.  Yup, that's right - we're going to track some mountain gorillas!
