La vie africaine....

My time is winding down...I will be leaving here on Saturday afternoon, March 1st. I'll see everyone in Charlotte on Sunday afternoon, March 2nd. A few quick notes for today:
  • I killed a snake in the house two nights ago. Yep, my vegetarian self chopped the serpent into three pieces with a South African hunting knife! Unfortunately, I did not get a picture...
  • I'm going to Congo (aka DRC)! The border's only a few miles away, so it's easy to get the extra passport stamp...
  • We're going to look for hippos tonight at Cercle nautique. They often graze along the lakeshore right along the road...

too bad cam and aslan weren't there to protect you from that snake...aslan could've sat on it and done better than the south american knife!

anyhow, watch out for the hippos--I hear they run faster than you'd think. :)
