Two-fold success...in that a) everyone made it to the top of the mountain! and b) we had a very lively experience with our gorilla family. We had it all - playful babies, lazy dining sessions, marauding silverbacks from other families trying to steal our silverback's ladies, an injured youth in the scrimmage...phewf, it was high drama in the Virungas! And we had some comedic moments as well, when our lead silverback bowled through a few of us - nothing hurt but pride :)
We're in Gisenyi now, a border town across from Goma in the Congo on Lake Kivu, the highest lake in all of Africa. We'll head back to Kigali tmw, with an afternoon at the market followed by two days in the field visiting Plan projects, and one day touring Kigali including the genocide museum. It's hard to believe we're halfway through - we still have so many interesting things to experience!
