om...
You are a braver man than I am, Mr. Buck.

Thanks for a great read, and a great series. Two hopes:

I hope you continue to write and share these with us as long as you
are in the Congo

and

I hope that your next teaching assignment finds you in some locale
with fewer assult rifles and more rivers to paddle.

Well, I don't think I'm really all that brave, but I'm with you on the last
two points, Mike! I GOTTA get on the water for a soul-fulfilling long
distance class 2-3 trip soon. In fact, I've been thinking about emailing you
and seeing if you want to look at some northern Canada excursion for the
last 2 weeks of this summer..? I get done my summer school classes around
July 19, and I'll have until about August 10 before I need to be in Congo.
I'd be up for coming over the pond to do some tripping. I was thinking of 4
people in 3 boats; do something remote, without too many people...wanna
start thinking that way?
