Fortunately, I did manage to compose myself and get the tracker to capture this image, from a slightly safer distance. You know, one of the security guards at the U.S. Embassy gave me the Kinyarwandan name "Mahirwe" (Mah-HEAR-way) on the last day. It means "lucky." So, when I add it to other names I've been given since traveling in East Africa, my full name is "Rahel Vuyanzi Nyaboke Mahirwe Nyaguthii," which means "Rachel Joyous Sweet as Honey Lucky Traveler."
And considering that I didn't get my head yanked off by Magilla Gorilla, I think that's pretty appropriate.
