re: Ebola outbreak in DR Congo

Can’t blame Ebola for the outbreak. If I was Ebola I wouldn’t want to be on that country either.

Really good fresh fruit (especially mangos)

It’s insane how much different and better tropical fruit is when you’re near where it’s actually grown.

What we get commercially here is like a bad photocopy of what it’s like fresh off the tree.

I mean the same is true to a lesser extent with peaches and citrus, but it’s far more noticeable with mango, papaya, etc.

Nigeria was the most unsafe I've been in. Sao Tome was my favorite. Very friendly people and beautiful place. Went there for a vacation. I had booked at a resort on a small island on the southern tip of the main island. Didn't realize until I landed I needed to sort my own transport to the boat dock. There were no taxis available at the small airport so I dipped into a small local bar to have a beer and figure it out. Started talking with a local and he offered to take me and the girlfriend to the boat dock. We went by his family's house for him to drop something off, picked up some beer and off we went. We got to the drop point and it was a small wooden dock in the middle of nowhere. 5 minutes later a diving boat pulls up to take us across. The guy had called the resort to let them know we were coming when we stopped by his family's house but didn't tell me anything just to mess with me a little. Very cool guy and one of my favorite trips.
