Back from Safari

Hey all, sorry for the 3 day absence- Paula and I took a trip up to Murchison National Park- It's in the central western part of Uganda (slightly north) and was in the LRA rebel sphere of influence a few years ago. As a result, it's on the US Embassy's "do not go to this place" list, but plenty of people do, and there reportedly hasn't been any trouble since military security got tightened up in the region. We saw lots of big game- elephants, hippos, giraffes, as well as antelope of all sorts, warthogs, baboons, eagles, and all sorts of neat fauna. No rebels.

I'd post pictures, but we (Aliza, Sam, Paula, and I) are leaving early tomorrow morning to go white water rafting down the Nile, and are spending the night in that region, so pictures and stories will have to wait till Sun night at the earliest, more likely to happen on Monday. Shereen just left today, and we saw her off before she got a ride to the airport. I'll probably see her in San Francisco when I get back into the States.

More on Monday, and have a great weekend all.
