So, people keep asking me what the weather was like in Rwanda. Yes, we were just 10 degrees south of the Equador, but we were also between 4,000 - 5,000 feet in elevation. That combination meant perfect weather. It did rain every few days (sometimes a quick downpour; sometimes day-long drizzle), but I still categorize that as perfect weather. The daily highs were probably no higher than the upper 70 degrees and we didn't even need jackets at night.
Rwanda's perfect weather also means that almost anything grows there. When driving from Kigali to Butare (about 2 hours on paved roads), we saw tons of banana trees and fields of what looked like tea or rice. People even planted corn (maize to Rwandans) in the dirt on the side of a road.
