Jessica: Hey, remember how our tire fell off in the mountains on the road to Cyangugu Province?
Bryan: Yep. [Eloquent male response.]
Jessica: I still can't believe how dark it was that night. Remember how Kayijuka would turn his flashlight onto the road every once in awhile, and we'd be surprised to see about five or six people sitting there watching us?
Bryan: Yep.
Jessica: And remember how Sheila kept calling us from Kibogora to find out what was taking us so long, even though Andy had clearly told her we were all right and on our way, and we all thought she was being overly maternal?
Bryan: Yep.
Jessica: And remember how Rachel and Patty and I started throwing rocks into the forest to pass the time, and Kayijuka asked us what we were doing?
Bryan: Nope.
Jessica: "American citizens should exercise caution when traveling through the Nyungwe Forest on the Butare-Cyangugu Road. Travel during the hours of twilight and darkness is not recommended. The Embassy does not recommend camping in the forest at this time. Regionally, one of the many Hutu extremist rebel factions in the Great Lakes region has committed, and continues to threaten, violence against American citizens and interests."
[Silence. And then...]
Bryan: Where did you read that?
Jessica: The State Department.
[Silence again. Even more silence. And then...]
Bryan: I totally took the guitar out and started singing worship songs when that happened, didn't I?
Jessica: Yep.
