Speaking of plagues... there seems to be one at David's house. Hundreds and thousands of insect wings litter the ground (sidewalk, driveway, porch, even inside the entrance hallway!)...! My students tell me they are termites but they look more like beetles with wings to me. Nearly every step - from the car to the front door - is filled with the sound of crunching bodies. The ants (yes, I still hate them) enjoy torturing the insects that unfortunately get flipped over on their backs (I'm sure they are screaming, "Help, I can't get up! I can't get up!" like the old lady in those ancient commercials) by eating them alive. Of course, they don't go for the bugs that are already dead (that would be too kind and compassionate for ants, I believe). Poor things.
On another note, I have seen some awesome sights. Such as heifer cows and goats walking along sidewalks in (near) downtown Kigali. Fun :)
Goats, you say? Well, goat meat abounds here. And it is really quite tasty... similar to beef, I think, but a bit more grisly.
