We have arrived safely in Rwanda. NPWKB, you wanted to know about our plane? We flew with Ethiopian Air on an Airbus 350. The Airbus holds a maximum of about 300. All the mountain gorillas in Rwanda could be seated on two planes! Ray thinks some of them would have a hard time doing up their seatbelts.
The picture I took out the window is of a Boeing 787. It might be just a tiny bit smaller than our plane, but it has the same three colours on the tail--red, yellow, and green. These are the colours of the Ethiopian flag. The flag of Rwanda also has three colours--light blue, yellow, and green. The light blue band represents happiness and peace, and the green band symbolizes hope. If your class had to design your own flag what would you put on it? You are Always in my Prayers. Love Mom. Note: We visited Ethiopia in 2015. If you want to see us hanging out with the Gelda Baboons check out our video https://youtu.be/PJWdRv3qiEE?si=nGj9uROc4Pa7wIWJ

The yellow stripe is about making the country better by providing more jobs, and helping farmers grow and produce crops that can support their families. We were in economy class. The seats do recline back a little but not make into a bed. We both slept a bit on both planes flights, we also watched a movie on the screen in the seats in front of us.

Our question is why is there a sun on the flag? We loved hearing about your plane and we hope the food on the plane was good. Did you like the food or no?

The sun represents the light of knowledge. Rwandans think that it is important for children to get a good education.
