After three weeks spent in the African wilderness (and I don’t think you fully appreciate how literally I mean that statement), I am back where I belong! (And we didn’t get robbed while we were gone, so that’s always good!)
It’ll take some time to get all my stories out about our trip to Tanzania, but to give you a quick synopsis of what went down, I:
- managed to painstakingly summit Mt. Kilimanjaro
- got some great wildlife shots while on safari in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater
- experienced not-quite-so-subtle racism from some of the locals
- got a little taste of Tanzanian culture; some great… some not as much
- have a wealth of bags and clothes that smell like I’ve spent the last couple of weeks without any decent shower facilities (some might argue it makes me smell like a man, but I’d just say it smells like I have some serious laundry to do!)
For now, though, it’s all about unpacking, going through mail (of both the snail and electronic varieties) and getting back into the swing of things!
Viva la Toronto—it’s great to be back!

WelcOme back Casey!
Thanks, Luisa 🙂 Good to be back 😀
Keep an eye out for the insane stories that came from this trip. I promise they’ll be worth reading 😉
Dude! You need to take a photo without the hat – people need to see the two-week fro!
Heh. I’d originally had a picture I was going to post with the fro, but I mucked around with it too much and needed to go with this instead. I just yanked it off of the card again, and will probably use it when I get to that point in the long, long story that was Kili.
It won’t be lost to the ages, I promise 🙂
I’m about to run the gauntlet between this post and your latest (as of 05/02) so expect comments/questions in a flurry.
I look forward to it, man. Been trying to find the time to get the next episode out, but it might wind up being a weekend mission 🙂 I hope you enjoy the mix of things I’ve been putting out — the rhyme and reason of everything is definitely absent right now, and I LOVE IT.
I obviously couldn’t keep up as quickly as I would’ve liked. Well done, sir. Well done!
