Random musings, mutterings, and delusions of a mad hiker: II | Jan 28 06'
" I thought that if I tried to write it out I might be able to express these mostly confused series of thoughts. Thus this is a warning to those hoping to read about monkeys throwing feces, hippo encounters, and/or nights of drunken revelry."

“Not saved but definitely moved.” | Jan 27 06'
"I find that the lack of a local guide also makes me more vulnerable, but in a good way. I no longer have this buffer whom I can turn to explain things or talk to people for me.

Plus I would like to add that the primatology class had the honor of being urinated and defecated upon by their objects of study"
