Something else to bookmark…
My program is starting a website with some photos and journal entries submitted by students (I’m one of two students doing most of the entries). You might be interested if you haven’t had the chance to see any pictures yet (I’m still trying, I promise!!).
Here’s the address: http://www.geog.mcgill.ca/courses/africa/safari2006/
There is one photo of me that’s currently up there, the one titled ‘Learning about stream inverts’. I’m partially obscured by the guy standing up in the black t-shirt, wearing blue pants and staring into my camera…Okay, so I’ll try to get better ones of me sent in. But just for the information, that photo was taken on our first day at Kibale on our first walk into the jungle. About twenty minutes before that image, me and 3 other people were attacked by army ants (yes, they crawl up your pants and stay there, and yes, they ARE carnivorous). About 10 minutes after that picture, my nose started randomly gushing blood (probably caused by the altitude…who knows). But other than the four dozen chunks taken out of my flesh by man-eating insects and the bloody nose, I made it out of the forest unscathed!
