Tomorrow I depart for the Dark Continent. It’s an interesting challenge to be heading for the tropics, yet I’m taking several layers of wool, a down jacket, and a zero-degree down sleeping bag, since it’s very cold at the Roof of Africa.
I’ll be carrying my 4×5 as well as a small digital camera. I took my first malaria pill today, and I have the appropriate vaccinations. And a very important detail — a petsitter will be coming daily to take care of my little Calypso.
I’m not sure what’s more exciting, climbing Kilimanjaro or the Great Migrations in the Serengeti.
I’ll be back in March, with Afrika pics!
