Visiting With a Friend and Eating Jambalaya

It was a good day for Jambalaya and catching up with a friend. Today's weather was misty and windy with the temperature falling. Yats on College was perfect.

I met with Greg who selected for last year's Rotary District 6560 Outbound Group Study Exchange (GSE) to the countries of Kenya and Ethiopia (in Africa). Greg was interested in Africa before on the trip. Now he is really interested in making a difference somewhere in Africa.

Greg gave me a book, Facing the Congo -- A Modern-Day Journey into the Heart of Darkness, by Jeffrey Tayler. It is story of a seasoned traveler and journalist's trip to re-trace Stanely trip down the Congo River.

Greg decided to join the Carmel Rotary Club. It was exciting news to find another passionate person for Rotary's work in Africa.
