Our Dedication

We make our first (successful?) blog entry with only about 10 days left of our African adventure. We have had our highs and lows since arriving, but the most serious was getting the news that our dear friend, Pat Eufemia Cavanaugh, passed away on July 7th, the day we arrived in Biharamulo. Pat's totally unexpected and grave diagnosis of lung cancer was what gave us the impetus to follow through with our dream of experiencing the world as something other than tourists NOW, rather than wait for a more perfect time. Pat was smart, optimistic and loved life and a bargain. She was an important and wonderful friend. We miss her terribly. Though we would rather be telling our story to Pat herself, we sadly are only able to dedicate our "safari" and this blog to her memory.
