Hiking in Ruhango

Ruhango is a big town just a half hour bus ride away.  My friend, who teaches in that town, loves to hike and so took me on a lovely hike just outside of the town.  Here’s what we saw.

Farm fields.  Since this is the dry season, nothing is currently growing in this field.

Further down the road, we began to see the rice paddies on the right.  Rice is a popular starch here, along with cassava, Irish potatoes and plantain. And, much later, we passed by groves of bananas.

And then some cows, which are immensely important in Rwanda.

And a nicely maintained, very cute house.  And another.

Rwanda is very hilly so there are constant ups and downs.  The valley with the rice paddies, being flat, provided a nice break from Rwanda’s usual hilly terrain on either side of the valley.
