Meetings. All we did. All day. All night.
First it was breakfast at Bourbon before we met with Patricia, the former and first minister of Environment in Rwanda, who was responsible for Rwanda’s groundbreaking ban of plastic bags. We talked with her for almost two hours and it was a really beneficial and productive meeting. She would bring up ideas that were exactly what we’ve already been talking about, and we were clearly on the exact same page. She gave us contacts of a lot of people who will be really valuable for us to connect with. It feels like she just gave us several really valuable, important pieces in this puzzle we’re working on here.
We had a break of about an hour before Tom and Emily met with us at Bourbon too. Again, it was really productive. We went over all the details and next steps to make sure this show of ours works come September. We got down to business and it was quick and to the point. I was also happy to see them. We all had lunch together too.
We stayed on at Bourbon after they took off for another hour or two. We finally left before dinner time and went back to Dream Inn where we met with Andreas, a friend of Lama’s who works for an architecture school. He was pretty sweet too. Once we were done having a drink with him, Kara and I went back to our room to hang out, work and listen to CNN. We had texted Taylor too and were waiting to see if he wanted to go out to eat. It turned out he had fallen asleep, and so we planned to hang out tomorrow instead. It was pretty late at this point and we were already very hungry. Kara and I ordered food from the restaurant downstairs. It took forever. Kara was asleep by the time it arrived. It was so expensive and so bad. We went straight to sleep after eating just to satisfy the biological need.
