Ethiopia

That’s where I am.  I still have more Kenya and Uganda stories, but they will come out in some order that will probably be confusing.  You’ll survive!  Ethiopia is… WEIRD!  But that’s for another blog entry in the future.  The day after Thanksgiving was one of loss for me.  Foremost, I had to say goodbye to Pamela hurriedly at the Entebbe airport as she went back to Kenya and I moved on to Ethiopia.  That was painful, but we will need to handle separations.  I wish she was here in Ethiopia to see more Africans and to laugh at all of the craziness.  Secondly, I was about to make the backup of my Kenya and Uganda photos when the external disk drive crashed and it is probable that I lost all 5000 photos many of which were the best I have ever done.  It was very painful because so many friends were captured in those photos.  They certainly represented the best wildlife photography I have done and I was really proud and now quite sad about the loss.  The chimpanzees in particular were extremely difficult to photograph and I had pulled off about two dozen superior shots.  Both of these losses have weighed on me this week, but I am getting my head into Ethiopia and I will not let all of this bring me down.  Internet sucks in Ethiopia so expect dribbles of blogs even though I am working on them on my laptop.  Strange place… Ethiopia…

 Luckily, about 100 Uganda photos were still in the camera at the time of the crash so here is your visual introduction to Pam…  http://www.flickr.com/photos/7411983@N06/
