Cimorelli's Africa Weblog

Hey Everybody- I just wanted to let you know that Bryan has a weblog going at www.grza.com in case you are interested in seeing how his adventures in Togo are going. The page is certainly not up tp Terrapin Tables level, but it seems that it will serve its purpose for us. Enjoy reading it- I am sure it will get interesting over the next two years!

Wow - "when sending a package, write in red ink and write religious phrases all over the package, like crosses and specifically the phrase "God is watching" or something like that. im not kidding"

Hey Rick, can we put this link up somewhere on the website, on the right side maybe? I know you used to have random links over there from some funny website, perhaps we can put this over there. Cause I will never remember it.

Fun Facts About Togo Because John is Bored:

- Approximately the size of West Virginia
- 2 Merchant Marine Vessels, one of which is foreign owned
- 9 Airports, 2 of which have paved runways
- "Some of the animals you might see (though their numbers are few) are hippo, giraffe, waterbuck, duiker, oribi, buffalo, bush pig, wart hog, hyena, vervet, baboon and, if you're lucky, perhaps an elephant or lion."
- Supposed to have beaches and good food.
- I don't know what a vervet is.
- Upon further investigation, a vervet is a monkey.
- Monkeys are funny.

Hassan Fofana's family is also from Togo.

Be careful - he eats babies.

Thanks for the info, John! Bry gets very upset when people mention seeing tigers- apparantly there are no tigers there and he's a little sensitive about the issue. However, when he was in Africa in college, he did chase a lion because he heard it and really wanted to see it up close. And he wonders why people are worried about him being away for two years??? Pat and John, you both have too much time on your hands, but it makes for good entertainment for others, so keep it up! By the way-I'm having a BBQ on June 26th and you should all make the road trip for it!
