November 5 (continued)
hens' eggs from a passerby, which we ate fried w/
smoked toast smeared w/ marmelade Wilhelm some-
how produced. He will leave after breakfast and be missed.
Took photographs, picked, etc. during a morning that
didn't turn bright sunny til almost noon. 1100hr
while we were working Leo brought in our first leopardie
for this site, which he found hopping on the path through
our camp area. Then he fixed me a bath - first in
some week. He had prepared a dense platform of
green leaves to stand on - w/ a stout limb beside it
for hanging clothes and towel, a basin of very hot water,
a basin of cold water, and a cup. Very warm water
and shampoo for the head and crotch were absolutely
glorious! Then I walked several hundred meters up
and down the two-track, checking trees and logs to the
side, and down the forest trail through three creek
crossing - didn't see a leop, tho I was especially
alert to sunny spots. Returned for lunch and rode
witing at 1400hr as storm clouds closed over, but by
1630hr we'd still had scarcely a drizzle so walked
out along the 2-track again and picked up a J Byfs
in wetgrass to keep alive for Anna Graybeat at 1650hrs.
On the BBC's African news report at 1815 hr we heard
that 500 Rwanda rebels overrun a border outpost a few
km from Kabale, the quiet little town through which
we entered Bwindi Forest. After dinner we all went on
separate walks - I went to the second stream crossing,
