This evening we're flying off to Gabon for a couple weeks!

Since most people's reaction to this announcement is "... Where??", I have indicated the location of Gabon on a map. :-)

A high school friend of Justin's went there in the Peace Corps, and now spends a great deal of time there doing research on, I think, elephant migration. So we will be visiting her, as will Justin's parents and her parents and brother-in-law.

We should return to Doha the night of the 16th.

Gabon?

I know Where. My question is Why?


Duhh I lost my password for my QC livejournal account!

Ha! "Anonymous" said exactly what I was thinking :) Where isn't as important as...why Gabon?

I hope you'll show us some pictures from your visit!

Great, I am the "Anonymous" again. Marge, why don't you just get on Blogspot and make my life easier? LOL

I did get on Blogspot, briefly, but more of my friends use LJ than Blogspot, and Blogspot irritates me in some very fundamental ways (e.g. lack of an aggregator for friends' posts).

Gabon is an excellent place to visit! Although it's not really set up for tourism yet. It's 80% rainforests and has amazing animal populations. The infrastructure is basically nonexistent, but it's worth it (to me). :-)
