APtravelnews-Pictures of the week, rewind!  Images are all made on my 5-dollar Brownie Camera with Agfa B&W film!  This is from my past travels through Africa, particularly the Congo!! My book; “Africa on a Pin & a Prayer” has many images of our adventure into mostly a pre-history like setting and mind-set! See bottom of page to order a signed copy!!

The Mystery Door in Zanzibar! This door was the entrance to the slave chambers back in the 1800's. Inside the original shackles and chains could be seen where slaves were held before they were to be shipped to Europe and the U.S.

Hunting monkey's and small game for dinner on rubber plantation. The rifle borrowed from the plantation manager was deadly in my hands. Only thing I could not eat and would not were money's. They looked so much like little children when they were skinned. Snake was OK!!

First Pygmies we saw on our trip through the Ituri Rain Forest, in the Congo! The dogs wooden clacker bells scared snakes away from the path, ahead of the men. Also the men could keep track of the dogs as they ran through the forest. These dogs did not bark!!

APtravelnews-Stuart, FL.-Feb. 29th,-Bob and Barb on The Road Again and Stopping to Smell the Goat Cheese!! We stopped in this morning and had some Kenya and also Colombian brewed coffee. The aroma made me swoon, Barb was lovin’ it too! We ordered quiche for breakfast I ordered goat cheese and Italian dried tomato and Barb ordered mushroom and asparagus. Along with fresh cut tomato slices and baguettes the order and accompaniments were generous in size, flavor and enticement of all the senses one often takes for granted. We really loved our breakfast, so as it was generous, we boxed half and then dove into an almond tart and a fruit tart-wowzer, wowzer!!!! Barb and I love great breakfasts and if you visit 555 S. Colorada, Ave. Stuart, FL. 34994 (there are two other locations, 1 in stuart and another in Fort Pierce, Stay tuned for more information on them) visit their website: www.importicosbakerycafe.com but more important to enjoy a true and excellent bakery full of so many great items, go for a drive and a taste!!
