this is a test

I have entered my quota of 10 folks to receive email notification of posts to our blog. Hopefully I have done this correctly and am posting this entry to test the process. (There are previous posts for you to see, but I’ve not “advertised” them.)

 

Now, in five weeks we will have completed our two treks to see the gorillas and will be in the air between Kigali and Johannesburg. But in real time, Michael is in Calgary and stopped in the Patagonia store yesterday to buy some quality trekking socks. The young guy who sold him the socks said they were the ones he wore gorilla trekking in the Congo. (So for all of you who thought we were being daring to go to Rwanda, at least we aren’t going to the Congo! In fact, I’m pretty sure some sort of intervention would have been organized had we even suggested that.) Anyway, this young man told Michael that his one day trekking was the greatest day of his life which seems to be a universal feeling among everyone we have found who has done it. It promises to be an absolutely, completely awesome experience. However, this guy went to hand his camera to a buddy of his and the next thing he knew a gorilla had a hold of his forearm. OMG!
