Gorillas - Uganda

Got to go into the forest reserve and see a family of gorillas.  One of the most amazing experiences of my life.  The male silverback in our group was a Goliath.  I swear the ground shook as he walked by me, a mere 2 feet away.  At one point another male came at me and scared me to death.  You are told not too look them in the eye and get out of their way.  Ina dense rain forest there is not way to get out of there way.  Furthermore, you need to look at them to see if they are going to kill you or just walk by.  I survived, but it was terrifying at one point.  Pictures were a bit difficult, it was rather humid in the rain forest.  I was lucky enough to get a few good shots.
