Travel and Shopping
What is it about so many of us, that wherever we travel, we end up shopping, whether for a small souvenir to take home or a bargain? Is that the recent my nephew and his wife found themselves in the shoe department of Macy’s in New York, yesterday? What do you think?
Gorillas in the Mist
I am trying not to be too jealous of my cousin who recently travelled to Rwanda, and was fortunate not only to go on a Gorilla safari, but also got fairly close to the group. He also visited some of the memorials relating to the genocide, which he described as harrowing. Rwanda and neighbouring Burundi sound a fascinating and memorable place to visit, not sure I shall be getting there any time soon though.
