Blogging away...

It's just started to dawn on me that I'm leaving for Uganda in a couple of days!

It's been 3 years since I've been to the field, so I had to dig around in the basement to find my gear, which is now spread out all over our guest room.

Ian's mess

My trips to Gombe were typically for 3-4 months, so it's a new experience for me to plan for a short trip (only a month).

It's also hard to know exactly what to expect, because I've never been to Kibale (or Uganda) before. Lots of people have told me what it's like, but from my experiences in Tanzania, I know that these places are impossible to fully describe.

I'm very excited to get back to the field, especially to visit a place that I've read and heard so much about.

 

As always, I'm sad to leave my family behind, especially since my son Caleb is changing so much these days. I hope I won't miss too much while I'm gone!
