To continue or to Not continue???

I believe that a lot of you may have missed the last sentence of my last blog post. As you are all aware I only post when I travel but I would like to know if you would like to continue to receive or to NOT receive them. Don’t bother posting here but please send me a text or an email to let me know one way or the other. I just don’t want to have you having my posts plugging up your email if you are not interested any longer.

Some of you did read that line and have informed me so it is unnecessary to let me know again.

Thanks……Gail

Sept. 16/23- Rushaga to Rwanda

The ride out of the mountains of Rushaga…..a little bumpy! The worst road I have ever been on. The video does NOT really show how bad it was.

No pictures were allowed to be taken inside the Genocide Museum. Trust me that it is the most horrific story. I have a book that I bought there that would break your heart. If anyone cares to borrow it…..

This is my last posting….the catch-up ones of the missing pictures from East Africa. I hope you have enjoyed my blog. I don’t expect you to post comments while I am travelling (it is most difficult on this site and not necessary) but if you have read and wish to keep receiving notices when I do travel, please email or text me. If I don’t hear from you within say 2 weeks, I will delete you. Thanks….Gail

Sept. 15/23-Bwindi Impenetrable NP, Uganda

Before beginning our climb, we were entertained by some of the former bush dwellers ( pygmies although not particularly short).

Bwindi is where we saw the mountain gorillas. The name of the park is Bwindi “Impenetrable” meaning that you cannot see through it….it is a jungle that has be slashed with machetes to get through.

Talk about hard working women! Farming in a most primitive way….on the side of a hill….wow!
