changing ugandan shillings into rwandan francs

nyungwe: a dense, enormous, mountain rain forest

hacking through nyungwe in search of chimps!

Unbelievably gorgeous scenery!!! Did you find the chimps?

we found the chimps! but the light and distance did not allow for good photos, so we just stood there and enjoyed watching them play in the trees, yell at each other, fight a bit, swing on vines, and slide down tree trunks. awesome!

Hi Ricky,
Saw your mom today at Giant. I asked how you are doing and she gave me this blog to check it out. I'm off to teach right now but I shall check it all out.
BTW, where I work it is 130 degrees all the time :)
