T Minus 2 Days

Now gettin' REAL excited at going to Africa. First picture received today of hillside in Rwanda where coffee grows now, and Jatropha has been planted. Today, I also talked with a lady from Uganda who lives here in Sacramento, and wants to put me in touch with her brother, who works in Uganda AMAZING !

This is the largest lake in the country, where apparently there's a posh resort that attracts socialites from all over the world. Its right near a usually-dormant volcano (!).

Mark: can you tell us what species of jatropha is being cultivated there?

Jatropha Crocus is the official name of the wonder plant - and you simply gotta hear the real strategy and story about this plant.....but not via the blog, simply too much to tell !
