My turn

My original posting just got deleted and I have to try to remember what I said. We are all exhausted and my memory is definitely impaired. Tomorrow we are off to Butare , and I will have to be the straight guy to my funny travelling companions.

We are loving the warm weather and mild evenings. Today must have been close to 30 degrees and the pool at the Serena hotel was our late afternoon sanctuary. Louise and I were enjoying a glass of wine when Jennifer arrived with her OR case of the week: a bowel obstruction due to Ascaris. Mountain gorillas are not the only wild life we are unlikely to see again.Jennifer has the pictures , though she will not be posting them on the blog.

Last night we were hosted at the home of Theoneste and his wife Jeanne d'Arc. He gallantly escorted us in the dark and we all had falls before being crammed into a bus bursting at the seams. The full moon is " the poor man's electricity " and we all were glad to have it last night.

We have a canopy walk scheduled for this week end in Nyungwe National Park , and then will head back to Kigali.The time is flying by, and we will be happy to get home but until then our best to all our faithful followers.Keep the feed back coming....we like to hear from you too.

    Hi Jennifer, I am again attempting to post to your blog. Did you get my emails to Lynn's or the Dal accounts?

    Hi Lynn!
    I guess you must be getting the opportunity to use your French! A name like Jeanne d'Arc - she has to speak French, right? Looking forward to hearing your account of your encounter with the gorillas.. did you take photos?
    OUr full moon (initially spelt fool muun) is hidden by the clouds- so guess if it's enough to light up your paths, your skies must be clear. Hope the parasites you encounter have heard the legends of harsh Canadian winters and will leave you alone!
    and having a glass of wine must be luxury! I heard that there was only beer available. I walked by a terrace café last week and it was so warm - people were outside eating...wonderful salads while sipping a glass of wine and eating charcuterie and crusty baguette... I wanted to plunk myself down and join them... Canadian familiarity does have its limits. My thoughts are with you and hoping that you will continue to have such incredibly enriching experiences,
    Love ya, schister!
    Leslie
