Congo Zaire, Colonel Ebeya Steamboat, 1984

Congo Zaire, Colonel Ebeya Steamboat, 1984 - My girlfriend Gabrielle and I traveled by steamboat (the "Colonel Ebeya") down the Zaire (Congo) River in 1984. It was a eight day ride from Kisangani to Kinshasa. As the days went by, barges tied on to the main boat, creating a sort of convoy. It was a very interesting experience! I wrote, "The people sell and eat grubs on the boat. I saw two crocodiles on board as well. One man was skinning a monkey by singeing it?s hair and scraping."
