I'm not going to get spoiled by the ease of posting while I'm at the office, but wow, having something to say, writing it, posting it, all with a click - no waiting, or storing up entries -- it's fabulous!
Anyway, more photos have been uploaded to Flickr today so enjoy them!
I discovered why I'm so poor too. Of the $263 I exchanged at the Rwandan border, I'd spent $199 on various things for JGI and the chimps. Like, holy moly... that's a lot!
Delphine told me that I'd get my VISA money reimbursed, which is a huge relief, so I submitted my reimbursement form today and am crossing my fingers that I can actually pay Carol back and what-not. I feel awful, but I owe her like $65!
Some money things here just aren't very cool. We ordered in lunch, and I asked for macaroni with chicken and veggies, and I ended up with spaghetti with like, crunchy, half-cooked bits of chicken skin and giblets and who knows what other parts of the chicken -- I pulled out some of the more... "textured" bits. But the veggies were nowhere to be found!
"Ou est les legumes? Ce n'est pas des legumes!"
The kicker? It was $12. For spaghetti and miscellaneous-chicken-bits. Gross.
