I should have followed up after my last post sooner...sorry to be such a downer right after my gorilla post! But it can’t all be rainbows and gorillas here. I’ve avoided posting all of my thoughts on here partly because they’re constantly changing and any thoughts I have might be inaccurate as matters of international development are very complex and I don’t know nearly enough to comment on them publicly. I’ve learned SO much, but I don’t think I’ll do any more unhappy posting—I won’t have time because I’ll be too busy with adventure! But if anyone wants to hear my cynical side we can discuss it over coffee or wine when I get home J
For now, we’re busy wrapping things up here and planning meetings with people we’ve met in Kigali. Kathy and I are also planning for our Tanzania trip. We’re hoping to buy bus tickets tomorrow. We’re probably going to take the route that goes north of Lake Victoria so we’ll be going through Uganda and Kenya to get to Tanzania. Pretty crazy! 36 hours I think... Once we have our bus schedule we’ll book a safari. We’re hoping to go to Ngorongoro Crater in Northern Tanzania which according to Wikipedia is “host to almost every individual species of wildlife in East Africa, with an estimated 25,000 animals within the crater”. I’m really excited! More on that later.
Thanks everyone for reading my blog! I just tried to post a picture but the internet is too slow so it will have to wait!
17 days left!
