Every
tour brings with it different challenges and experiences, and I am not talking
only about the birds. This time it was vagaries of the climate and a trip to the
emergency room. Despite these, or perhaps, because of them, this was certainly a
trip I won't forget for a long time. Taking someone to the hospital in the
middle of the night was something new for me, and something I hope to never have
to do again. Fortunately it turned out to be a fairly minor infection and the
client was able to rejoin the tour a few days later. |
