It's early in the morning and I don't know what to do
This morning Betsy and I set out from our hotel with the hope of finding some genuine Rwandan coffee, judged to be some of the best in the world, as opposed to the instant stuff we were given yesterday. We sat at a café and tried to explain: “Rwandan coffee, s’il vouz plait” The waiter looked confused. “Rwandan coffee?” “Yes. Drip?” He looked confused, then smiled and said “Yes” rather definitively. Inside we could here them “Rwandan coffee?” “What?” “Hmm”
A while later, a waitress came out. “What would you like?” “A croissant and fruit salad,” we ordered from the menu. “And to drink?” “Coffee” “Coffee?” “Café ou lait, please” “Ok!”
When the waiter came with our stuff he was beaming. “Rwandan Coffee!” He announced triumphantly, placing before us little cups of instant coffee. We smiled back. “Thanks.”
On the upside the “fruit salad” was wonderful. Papaya, Pineapple, banana, lime, passion fruit and a tree tomato!
PS: We found real Rwandan coffee for lunch!

what...is a 'tree tomato"?
alana...!!! how are you doing? email me all the gory details :) i'm leaving for zambia tomorrow. all packed up but even the hand luggage weighs more than me. uh-oh. take care, s
Tree tomato...I'm not sure. Japanese tree plums? I'm sure that helps.
It looks like a passion fruit on the outside - oval and red with smooth skill, and like a tomato on the inside. And it tastes like a tart tomato. I don't know...It's all new to me.
Hand luggage...as long as you smile when you carry it, it doesn't matter how much it weighs!
