Patrol Leader and Hens

Yesterday was interesting... for the first time I acted as Patrol Leader on a Short Duration Patrol ("short' meaning no overnight stay).

Off course, nothing ever goes smoothly - the village we were aiming for don't exists: its name is the superimposed name of two streams. There is a village in the area where it should be, but it's not accessible by car. And to top it off, we almost got stuck on a bad bridge... but we got to talk of the head of the Boma, and we got the info we wanted and much more.

Also, as I was walking around camp in the evening I noticed something big and white... wondering if it was a cat, I decided to sneak up on it and take a photo. Not that I needed to sneak, as I found out, it was not a cat... it was a big, plump, white hen! Clearly one of the UN volunteers living in camp wants to make fresh dinner in the near future.

Today is set to be a slow day... but tomorrow I'll be the driver on another SDP. I wonder what we'll run into then; the village dont have any roads marked in it's vicinity on the map...
