For anyone interested in people's experiences overseas, this is a great book. The writer, Robert Sapolsky, is a scientist who goes to Africa to study baboons. This quote from the back of the book covers it: "At the end of Primate's Memoir, I felt as though I'd been on a guided tour of Africa with a wise, soulful, funny, generous, and deeply intelligent guide. Loved him, loved his insights about these strange and distant cultures, loved his baboons."



If you lived in your heart, you'd be home by now.

This sounds so interesting. Ever since I saw and read "Out of Africa" a long time ago, I have wanted to travel there and know more about it. I'll look into it.

Thanks!

XOXO, Libbie
