Monday

Good news!

Though we have not yet finalized things, there is a very good chance that - contrary to what we had anticipated - we will be able to keep the total cost of the trip right around $5000. And, we may be able to include more meals so that just about the only expense beyond that will be your immunizations and souvenirs. This does not include gorilla trekking as that is an optional activity that those enrolled in the course can choose to do or not.

The course is capped at 16 students. If you're definitely interested in joining us, you might wish to submit your application now! The deadline is 7 November.


Just to give you an idea regarding the money you might wish to have for souvenirs... 
I brought back nine baskets, three scarves, three pairs of earrings, two necklaces, a tiny carved gorilla, fabric, a painting - and probably a few things I've forgotten. I spent, in US dollars, about $130 on everything.
