Where have I been? Farrell! I went to northern MN last weekend. You should have been there. It's probably a lot like Uganda, only entirely different. I need to catch up on some of your exploits. Safe travels.
Farrell you are letting it slip a little. I can see (and feel) in your typing that you are getting near the end of your trip. The posts are dripping with nostalgia already. You sure you don't need another 6 months on the run?
BBC HEADLINE: "Uganda Literacy Rate drops by Half" God help these children! maybe if you stop giving them beer they would stop taking their clothes off in class! I'm only joking of course -- you're doing a great job -- keep it up! By the way, I just watched "The Last King of Scotland" -- so it's sort of freaking me out that you're in Uganda. For crying out loud just don't sleep with the president's wife!
practice for the future... very cool, farrell. so even though this is grade school, has it affected your plans (such as they were) to possibly teach if/when you come back to the u.s.?
bald gorillas I didn't know gorillas could carry weapons and have receeding hairlines. Oops...thats you. Honest mistake though. Looks like a great trip.
New Pants Farrell......Did you have to change your pants after the self portrait photo? You have that look like I can't believe I just pooped my pants. That is definetely $300 well spent.
quote Forgot to say that it reminds me of a quote from Josef Stalin (ironically), regarding how we become numb to mass murder of this scale :
"One death is a tragedy, a million deaths is merely a statistic"
Rwanda Really sad - and a bit unreal to think how it happened recently, is happening now in Sudan, could happen again tomorrow somewhere else...
Not many Americans would go to Rwanda yet - pretty brave! But you are seeing things the rest of us will never see.
CYA Mike, Mike, Mike,
how many times do I have to remind you that next time you get in a pinch with the border crossing guards, etc. you should CYA: Call Your Attorney (me). Remember the Warren Zevon song?

Better than Rick Steve Mike,
THANKS so much for your candid and refreshing documentary of your travels. It's nice to live vicariously from my PC, and think that perhaps some day I might dare to do a fraction of the brave things you do. Did that gun really have bullets in it?

Careful with the Hippos I just watched a Discovery Channel episode of Crocs and Hippos. They said that Hippos kill 100 times more people each year than sharks.
don't know about yahoo I don't know anything about this and haven't seen any info on it. If you have more info send it to me, or let me know if it breaks.
Yahoo works well for me Mike, that DaveK wasn't me. I am a DaveK but not that one. I have no trouble seeing your photos when they are posted. And they are some nice pics too. Keep taking them, I'll keep looking at them. Safe travels. Dave Krocak
Yahoo photo is closing... When ever I try to look at your photos on Yahoo, I get a message saying that it is closing and I should go visit flikr. Are you going to move them somewhere else?
Go well.
Birthday MF - Happy Birthday buddy. Sounds like all is going well. I was looking forward to a good Mozambique prision story - Darn. Glad to hear all is going well. GO HOOSIERS!
Happy Birthday Mike I know it's 10 day early, but I'm not sure when you will read this. Will you have the chocolate cake that you talked about? Love, Georgia
I've decided that I've had enough of the working world. So.... I've quit my job to travel for awhile. Until the money runs out or I get tired. We'll see what happens...
