I'm back and I invite you to check out this meet-up where Joseph Ndwaniye presents his book *Les mille collines à coup de pédales* Pedaling Through a Thousand Hills https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2-XpXkQ4mg But maybe you'd already read it before leaving? Joseph Ndwaniye, nurse, writer, and cyclist, is also known for his book *La promesse faite à ma sœur*.

Good evening Jean Marc, Thanks for sharing and for those four great videos. After preparing for Côte d’Ivoire, you’ve made me want to explore Rwanda. I might DM you later for some info and addresses when the time comes. Have a good evening, Fx

Thanks for the message! Don’t hesitate if you have any questions. You’ve been to Côte d’Ivoire—it could also make for a beautiful bike trip, I imagine.

Have a good evening!
