Dark Star Safari: Zanzibar
http://deaninafrica.blogspot.com/2009/04/zanzibar.html
Friday, April 3, 2009. Monday March 16th 2009. Fresh nutmeg will make you feel light headed. All these spices were interspersed with the tasting of fresh fruit. We had the best grapefruit, lychee, orange, and coconut right off the tree. It was sensory overload. We’re at least 5km from the ocean and there’s not a lake in sight. But with the water table so close these crabs have no problem getting the water they need by burrowing down to it. Next part of the walk was on a boardwalk through a mangrove fores...

Dark Star Safari: July 2009
http://deaninafrica.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 19, 2009. Anyone still coming here? Of energy in me. I'm also very thankful that Amber and I did not bring malaria or giardia. Home I feel we are blessed. 160;I've grown to love blogging. It's been easy to do given all the unique things I did and saw. Can America provide the same quality of inspiration? 160;I don't know. I think I shall keep writing and posting but not here. I'm announcing the launch of my new blog called "What's Dean Doing? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Dark Star Safari: Little White Boy
http://deaninafrica.blogspot.com/2009/04/little-white-boy.html
Sunday, April 19, 2009. It survived our attack only for a few hours. Later that day I found it’s body on the floor. 8221; you ask. Well, his prescription food is not sold in stores here so we had to carry over for him a YEARS SUPPLY! How happy he must be! Catnip is in the mint family, so I assume that's why he loves the mint patch. Glad he's doing well over there! April 19, 2009 at 2:03 PM. Awwww D.O.G! April 25, 2009 at 12:42 PM. Darla was telling me you had a blog so I had her give me your blog address!

Dark Star Safari: November 2008
http://deaninafrica.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 28, 2008. Back Up A Few Weeks. This week has been busy. And it’s only Wednesday! The rainy season started a month or so ago but it’s only in the last week that I could describe it this way. Oh yeah, it has rained quite a bit since I’ve been here, but it’s raining almost every day now. And when it rains it’s a real deluge. With thunder and lightening! As you can see, and much to my excitement, there are photos for all to see and enjoy! Monday, November 24, 2008. The central market is a ve...

Dark Star Safari: Birds, Birds, Birds, Birds
http://deaninafrica.blogspot.com/2009/06/birds-birds-birds-birds.html
Friday, June 12, 2009. Birds, Birds, Birds, Birds. I’ve always had a fascination with birds but never considered myself a “birdwatcher” or “twitcher” as they say. Being the amazing place that it is there’s no surprise that there are some amazing birds. Lots of amazing birds. One of the most common books I see in people’s hands, apart from the “The Bradt Guide of. And it has been put to great use on all of our trips, walks and drives through the Ugandan countryside. I’m not quite that bird crazy yet.

Dark Star Safari: March 2009

Wednesday, March 25, 2009. More Time In The Field. The following is an account of happenings from the month of February. Sorry for the delay in putting up posts but Amber and I have been away or have had visitors or both so we've been very busy. We recently took a trip to Zanzibar so be looking for a post on that here very soon. I promise. Until then. More Notes on the Field. 8221; in their language. They usually gasp and say something to the effect of, “the muzungu knows our language!

Dark Star Safari: May 2009
http://deaninafrica.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 19, 2009. From the beginning this blog has not been only for you, family, friends and faithful readers. It has been a way for me to better my skills as a writer and to document the experience for the future. I feel successful on both counts but at this moment I’m feeling like it’s been a while since I’ve explained what Amber and I are up to on a more average, day to day level. I’ve written about what it’s like to shop and to eat out and to get the car fixed. A Couple of times we’ve gon...

Dark Star Safari: Last Thoughts Before We Go?
http://deaninafrica.blogspot.com/2009/06/last-thoughts-before-we-go.html
Friday, June 12, 2009. Last Thoughts Before We Go? Many of these “Ugandanisms” I’ll call them, have become very dear to me and I’d like to keep a hold of them. The beauty of getting to know a new place is learning a new way of looking at things and the slang will often contain that unique angle on life. “How is the going? 8221; and, “How is your good life? 8221; are my top two favorite greetings. “Nice time! We are going to pack for the trip.” Another example, “I want to show you my what? Mountains Beyon...
