Boy, if I was single, I would jump at the chance here!
Right? You could learn all about SLA and Africa at the same time.
oT but fun: Pynchon’s _V._ has a chapter set in Südwestafrika. If you havn’t read that novel– outside of Proust surely the most audacious debut novel ever– do yourself a favour. Pynchon did his research.
Dang that sounds sooo cool.
I am planning on doing the Camino next summer…don’t want to do it alone anymore because of what’s happened recently …especially since I want to do the Camino Portugues, which is not as heavily travelled as the Frances.
Also, just heard that the Pope is considering establishing 2016 as a Pilgrimage year
Walking (or riding on horseback) the Camino is another of my goals, but it will have to wait. When I was getting my MA in Spanish, I took a course on the Camino and read a number of the stories and legends associated with it, as well as history and geography. Then I visited Pamplona, Burgos, Leon and Santiago by train, so I didn’t walk the Camino, even though I followed portions of it in each of those cities.
I hope everything works out for you to walk the Camino next summer and that you get one or more companions. Ich wünsche dir Gottes Segen.
Only slightly off topic. Agen is one of the pilgrimage stopovers. I believe Anny Ewing is thinking about doing it this year after the workshop.
Update on Tanzania 2016:
I’ve communicated with several different companies and think I have found the company to go with: Daigle Tours. I am working with one of their employees who is also interested in the German colonial period.
While the itinerary and costs are not yet set, it will probably look something like this:
Total days: 21 (including travel to and from the US)
Day 1: Depart US
Day 2: Arrive Dar es Salaam; overnight Dar
Day 3: Travel to Mkindani via Mahiwa; visit site of Battle of Mahiwa (important engagement)
Day 4: Visit Old German Boma, possibly ruins at Kilwa; overnight Mkindani
Day 5: Travel to Selous Game Reserve; overnight outside park
Day 6: Visit Selous Game Reserve – both historical sites and game sightings; overnight in park
Day 7: Travel to Udzungwa Mountains; overnight Udzungwa
Day 8: Visit Mikumi National Park; overnight Iringa
Day 9: Travel to Ruaha National Park; overnight outside park
Day 10: Visit Ruaha National Park; overnight outside park
Day 11: Travel to Dodoma (capital and site of German Old Railway Hotel); overnight Dodoma
Day 12: Travel to Arusha (possible Natural History Museum) and Moshi; overnight Moshi
Day 13: Travel to Lushoto; overnight Lushoto
Day 14: Day trip/hike to Magamba rainforest, German Middle School, WWI bunker
Day 15: Travel to Tanga via Bumbuli (Lutheran mission and hospital); overnight Tanga
Day 16: Visit Tanga
Day 17: Travel to Bagamoyo (colonial capital); overnight Bagamoyo
Day 18: Visit Bagamoyo, travel to Dar es Salaam; overnight Dar
Day 19: Visit Dar es Salaam
Day 20: Depart Dar
Day 21: Arrive US
Accommodations: 3-star hotels and tents (supplied by company)
The cost for one person looks to be about $7,000 for the land package. Price goes down as more people go because the main cost is vehicle/driver/fuel, and that is a shared cost. I think a group of 3 to 4 would be great. However, I recognize this is by no means a typical safari trip to Africa.
