Hemingway Adventure
Entebbe, Uganda

Though we've not been here long it seems like a lifetime. Africa has a way of imposing its own time scale, reducing our busy western lives to its own pace, its own stately rhythm. In Africa the concept of the eternal seems much more meaningful. It also allows you more time to take things in. Events become clearer and impressions sharper and memories more indelible.
Perhaps that's the way it was for Hemingway. He spent less than ten months of his life in Africa and yet from it came two books (one, admittedly, posthumous) and two of his greatest short stories - 'The Snows of Kilimanjaro' and 'The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber'.
Life in Key West and Cuba may have been safer, but never as intense.
