My Sister Came to Visit

Through a generous grant from the Muhr foundation (otherwise known as my parents) my little sister Bethany was able to come and visit me for the month of May. Since school was still in session for the whole month, this meant that she really got to see what I do everyday. And, since she had time, I put her to work grading, teaching math and doing various other tasks. It was great to have a teacher's aid for a few weeks. I also let her relax on Mondays as we went to the pool with the Thomases and played some tennis on the courts. Here's a picture of her relaxing with Gwen.

On several of the weekends we planned fun excursions. One Saturday we went shopping in town. Bethany did a fairly good job of bargaining, especially with me as she tried to get me to pay as much as possible for the gifts we bought together. On another Saturday we went to see the gorillas (see previous post). For the final Saturday of her stay we visited the game park in Akagira. Here's a picture of us in front of the giraffes.

It was great having Bethany here, and the month seemed to go by much too quickly.
