malaria and NEW PHONE NUMBER

i have it. just kidding~ i did not sleep a wink last night as i was achey, sick and had shivers. but fortunately, i think its a really bad cold and not malaria. i feel better today and i'm on medication. i probably got it from one of the kids seeing as how they dont use toilet paper or wash their hands, ever... we were going to track the gorillas today at mgahinga, but unfortunately we couldnt because the gorilla family is too close to the rwandan border, and if we hike out and they have crossed, we wont get to see them. so we are crossing our fingers that they will stay on the ugandan side so we can track them in mgahinga tomorrow. it would truly be an opportunity of a lifetime, as permits in other parks sell out almost a year in advance and typically cost upwards of 500 usd. This family of gorillas came back from Rwanda a few days ago so permits on the ugandan side were released, we just hope we can jump on this opportunity! it made the cover of Uganda's "New Vision" newspaper. they havent been on the ugandan side in a long long time.

anyway: very important.
i got a new phone number in uganda because i switched to another service provider, CelTel, because they have good reception at Teach Inn whereas MTN had none.
my new cell phone number is :
75 3427 662
(i think the country code is 0256 but dont quote me on that, look it up please...)

please call that number if you would like to get a hold of me! the old one is null and void!
love,
suz
