The Durhams go to Africa

This is the blogspot for the Durham's trip to Africa in fall 2006. We are taking an overland trip to east Africa, visiting Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and possibly, Rwanda or Congo. Some highlights from the trip: the Rift Valley, Mountain gorillas, Serengeti, Kilimanjaro, rafting the Nile and the island of Zanzibar.

The Perfect Shoes!


I (finally) found the world's most perfect shoes for a month-long trip to Africa! They are the Merrell Chameleon II Stretch GTX. They are waterproof, have nice rugged soles, and, best of all, they are super comfortable! And they are only moderately ugly. Yay! I previously bought and returned 2 other pairs (Salomon Amphibian - not comfortable and the Merrell Chameleon without Gortex - not waterproof). I knew if I didn't get waterproof shoes, I'd end up getting in the mud sometime during the first couple of days and, for the rest of the trip, I'd be the one with the really stinky shoes! For a girl who has been known to take up to 5 or 6 pairs of shoes with me for one weekend, finding ONE pair to take for a whole month has been a real search. Happiness = shoe perfection!
