Almost time to go?

Have I used up all of my organic jasmine green tea bags?



It must be almost time to go.

But not until we've seen some white rhino's.






There are less than twenty of these in the world because poachers know that they can get nearly a quarter of a million US dollars for the horns. Really. Apparently some misguided Asians don't realize that the plain old keratin that rhino horns are made of is the same stuff that's in human finger nails and they think that murdering these poor stupid creatures for their horns will give them some sort of magical powers that chewing and swallowing their own finger nails might not. So very not smart or nice of them. At any rate, the nice Ugandans have figured out that their cultural heritage, not to mention their tourism industry, will be enhanced by protecting and conserving the white rhinos and bringing them back to the grasslands by the River Nile where they belong.

Back to business, now that the rhinos have been sited it is time to move on. But you can't move on in Africa without at least one flat tire.



Fixed in less than ten minutes by Isaac and Gordon.

Then, of course, the radiator cap has to blow.




Who knew that a radiator cap gasket can be temporarily replaced with a Ziploc bag?

Then, must not forget about the traffic in this country.



Will we get to the airport in time for that flight?
