Environmental Degradation I love the poster. It has the major issues and it is very simple and easy to read in just some few seconds. I wish the information gets out there so that Ghanaians and others alike will start being responsible towards the environment because the environment is the very basis of our existence as humans. We should remember that how we interact with the environment will determine how the environment interacts with us. It is as simple as that. One health; the health of the environment determines the health of man.
It was absolutely spectacular seeing the chain of volcanoes from Rwanda side...unfortunately i didnt make the trip up to see the Gorillas nor to explore the Volcanoes...But it was very nice waking up to as the sun rise, coffee in the hand and those volcanoes in the mist of the morning....beautiful ...

Oh, the Wood David-
So excited to hear that you're returning to Bainbridge Island to work at the Wood again. We had some good times there when I was a grad student in 2006. Thanks for sharing your adventures. As for me, I'm still keeping it live in SE Asia. Cheers, to travel!
You Go I'm so excited for your adventures coming up with NOLS. One of my dear friends lead expeditions out of Atlanta, Georgia and he loved it. You are living it up D! Sending you good vibes from Thailand.
Jaisalmer Fort Controversy Hi, thanks for the link about the controversy with Jaisalmer Fort. I didn't know there was a controversy at all, I heart it was pretty unequivocal: don't stay in the fort!
I'm under the impression the infrastructure - especially water supply and waste removal - aren't up to the modern demands, which makes sense to me. Sure, there's an economic drawback for those who have businesses in the fort, but I was very comfortable eating all meals and shopping in the fort while sleeping outside.

Thanks for the clarification on Jodhpur Thanks ... I'll be sure to update my text. Hope you caught the reference, it's a line from the original star wars movie!

To Stay or Not To Stay at Jaisalmer Fort?
There's been alot of controversy over whether to stay or not stay in the Fort. It's eroding from increased water usage and tourists are contributing to the problem.
Check out this link, it shows the different viewpoints so you can make a more educated decision.

Happy Travels!
its in the Heart of Jodhpur Dear David
I am from Jodhpur
I was just looking at you pictures and in on of your pictures from Jodhpur it says "That's no moon, it's a space station!
I mean, that's no hill, it's a space station! (actually, it's a fort on the hilltop just outside of Jodhpur)
Just thought you should know that Jodhpur Fort is Situated in the Heart for the town right in the middle of the city its not outside of jodhpur..
Great Update What an amazing journey. I love the close-up of the rhino, the bird-through-binoculars shot, and the numerous chimpanzees. Enjoy your time there. Kudos for making a difference to those children. Best of luck for continued success.
That's awesome! We're totally famous. I'd like to note though that those are neither watercolor pencils, nor from IW. Just fyi. Make me look like a thief.

my favorite blog yet! i loved hearing about Gombe. corny as it is, i was riveted by the IMAX movie about Jane and Gombe, so it's just amazing to me that you were actually there, learning, exploring, and soaking it all in. you have some great photos, too. thanks for sharing! just back from trinidad myself (honeymoon!) and am a mrs. (crazy!)-- you've inspired me to do some writing about my own trip.
Living in the present Hi David - Your updates help to keep me involved, even vicariously, in the world of travel and international relations - when my current life is so entrenched in the world of high tech San Francisco. And, for that I thank you! :) As you can imagine, helping a client get coverage in a newspaper or tech magazine pales dramatically when I hear tales of planting mangroves or doing something else that directly helps the planet. Please keep me posted - one of these days, I'll be back on the road again! :) Hugs, Melanie
On my birthday in 2006 I bought a one-way ticket to East Africa, by way of India. For many years I had not only wanted to travel, but to stop and live in a place (or places) while immersed in other cultures.
What follows is a catalog of posts from different moments and places from the journey. Scroll down to pick a journal entry about my travels in India during fall/winter of 2006 or my time spent in 2007 volunteering with the Jane Goodall Institute in Tanzania and Uganda. If reading is not your fancy, have a look at some of the pictures I to... full info
