Every African county is different. Uganda is know for its greenish hue and its Gorillas. I won't see the Gorillas until early next week, but until then, I am enjoying the ones I see in other contexts, inclusing safaris. For whatever reason, I am unable to post multiple pictures in any one post. S

It was quite the day today. I got a new room with a real shower, although the water was still cold. I went on my first game drive here and it was long and not as compelling as others I have taken. In the afternoon we took a fabulous boat ride on the Nile to the bottom of Murchison Falls. The sigh

Our guide had a tough day today. First he got a speeding ticket without a posted speed and then the front windshield cracked. With all that said we saw Murchison Falls today from the top and after a safari tomorrow morning will see it on a boat ride later on tomorrow. Every thing but the heat is

It is hard to be far from home and experience computer or email problems. I was good but here in Uganda my email has reverted to old emails, and I can't delete them or see 3, apparent permanent emails, or delete numerous others. I spent too much holiday time on this but I couldn't believe it happ

I am old enough to remember the tyrant Edi Amin Dada who murdered his own citizens. Never in a million years would I have expected to be here ever. Nonetheless, it is in Uganda where the majority of the world's endangered Gorillas, some 800 in total, are and it here where I hope to see them. I am

I am in Dubai. It is more hot and humid here than any place I have ever experienced. It is a short stop on the way to my ultimate destination in Uganda. I am taken with two things. No one I have spoken to is from here. Everyone from drivers to those in the hotel and elsewhere has come for work. T

You may remember I wrote about Humidity the other day. I hate it, can't cope and moved north to try and beat it. Surprise, surprise, it is here in New England as well. I am going to Uganda to walk with the Gorillas. There are only about 800 left in the wild in Uganda, Rwanda and the Congo. There

This is a first for me. I am writing this post from 35,000 feet in the air. For an old soul like me this is incredible and amazing. I didn't own a compute until 1999 and now I am blogging from a MacBook Air on my way to the Middle East. I'm going to Dubai on Emirates Airlines. Go figure. I have b

I am always taken by airports where people wait. Whether you are coming or going, picking someone up or waiting to depart it is a new world. Everyone is glued to to their devices, laptops, tablets or phones. Occasionally, someone will look up at the airline screens to see if the flights are on ti
