We arrived in Burundi from Kenya. It was an amazing welcome for us as we went with our host Peace to her cousin's wedding and nephew's graduation celebration. The wedding was filled with tribal dancing and drumming and singing from Burundi and Rwandan traditions. 

Next we went to the grad celebration and listened to a few speeches and were able to partake in a Burundian feast! What a way to dive into the culture!! It was a day none of us will forget. 

We ate potatoes, boiled bananas that tasted like more potatoes, fish, rice, kale, salad, OH MY!
