Back at Chez Lando Two and a half weeks ago, I had started my mission leaving from Chez Lando. Anne Marie Katengwa and Joseph are the parents of my college friend Nausicaa and owners of Kigali’s most famous restaurant and hotel. Upon my arrival in Rwanda, I had stayed with them while Nausicaa remained my guide via distance. I was fully prepared. I had planned a week of holiday, after the mission and this now included my mom. Again Anne-Marie and Joseph have shown beyond great hospitality. While I was climbing the Bisoke volcano. They picked her up. Patrick, the receptionist from Chez Lando, called me to let me know that she had landed. He called me to let me know she was in the car and she was safely in the house. There is no words for this kind of hospitality. It is just beyond amazing. I arrived later in the night and couldn’t wait to see mom. Again, it had been 4 years. I ran in the house and started screaming mom, mom. There she was beautiful as always. At age 63, she had aged a little bit since I last saw her but still a strong African woman. I can assure you don’t want to mess with her. Tears in my eyes, we continued to hug. We decided to have dinner across in the Chez Lando restaurant. What a fantastic place with good food! No wonder this is considered the best place in town. It was packed with people and the atmosphere was great. My mom was already impressed with Kigali. She said I have never seen an African place like this. She has confused Luanda with Rwanda. Mom was happy to meet Nausicaa’s parents and very impressed. The Rwandan mentality is completely different from Nigerians. Mom’s first hours in Rwanda are a success. Wait till she sees the rest…
