The Gorillas of Rwanda: Hi Sheila, my friend and sorority sister, Dian Fossey was indeed an adenturer, spending 14 years studying the gorillas. Ironically, her mother wanted tDian to be a lady, educated with culture, etc. Dian wanted none of it and you know the rest of the story…I, too, am 76 and want to visit Austria/Vienna where music abounds – your latest confirms my desire.

Leh, capital of Ladakh: Went to Ladakh last year. Awesome place. Spent 19 days trekking and a week in Leh and around it. Best fun was the trekking. Did you see Stok Kangri? We climbed it at the end of the trek. How was the altitude sickness? Fred

I really appreciate it. Keep it up! Mark

Tunisia: You can find harrissa states side at different halal meat or mid eastern stores in big cities even though tunisia is a north african not a mideastern country. Harissa sold here is made in france but its a copycat of the original tunisian. buzdig

A Day is Ushuia: A friend and I are going on an Antarctica cruise in a few weeks, and it ends in Ushuaia. Like you, our flight to Buenos Aires isn’t until late that night, so I was wondering if you remember the name of the restaurant/luggage storage place where you left your luggage while you explored the town for the day? If you can get back to me by Jan 23, that would be great since I leave the next day. Thank you!! Alison
