weekend

leaving for morogoro in one hour so i must pack in a hurry. thought i would just say that i will be seing the chimps in gombe. it means taking the bus 6 hours to the capital of dogoma. catching the train from there (i have reserved a first class ticket to sleep) that stops in tabora for two hours and then goes on to kigoma. this central line railway (hope the worriers dont google it because you will only get info on the tragic derailing a few years back) the ride in the train will about 27 hours. i have a contact in kigoma that i trust. he is a friend of my teacher here and may even go to gombe with me! he will try to get me a boat from kigoma (where i will spend one night). its a three hour boat ride to the parks entrance at the beach. its a bit of a rush, but i have to see this country, situate myself, see some nature, and the chimps have been calling to me for many years....
