After four years in Rwanda and DR Congo I was diagnosed with myalgic encephalomyelitis in Oct ‘08. Following two years in Malta, I moved to Melbourne, Australia where I found a doctor who diagnosed fructose intolerance and - eventually - Lyme Disease. My health improved, I returned to work, and next week I'm going back to my former life on the Big Island of Hawaii. Take a look at older posts (2004-2008) for stories & photos from Africa.

These are impala in Akagera Park, in the eastern side of Rwanda on the border with Tanzania. The burnt grass is due to a large fire that burned for a couple of days the weekend I was there together with a group of colleagues last July (more details below). It's worth clicking on all the photos to get a better view! In the park we saw a good variety of animals, including hippopotamus, african buffalo, baboons, vervet monkeys, zebra, topi (aka tsessebe), and eland. There are three national parks in Rwanda, the other two being Volcanoes National Park (known for the gorillas) and Nyungwe Forest (known for Colobus monkeys and many other animals and birds).
