Hey Jules
So far your Journal is written superbly. Readers, like myself, feel like we are travelling with you in your search. I hope you will continue to write on this Journal till the end of your East African trip so that some of us who haven't gone back to our homeland can get a view of "home" via your eyes.
Excellent work - keep it up.....S
