I met Erwin Van Delzen via the Internet when he happen to surf into this web site. He lives in the Netherlands, near Rotterdam.
Let me tell you, the power of the Internet and email is amazing!
He sent me this story of his experience of tracking the gorillas in 2003. With his permission, I've made a web page of his
story and pictures. Enjoy!

Hi Dawn,
We were in Bwindi last year to visit the Mwirima Group.
The female with the baby felt threatened by us so she screamed loud. Instantly Mwirima came running and screaming out of the
bushes towards us breaking twigs, etc. He stopped just 3 meters in front of me and stared at me for almost 2 minutes.
(I did not move an inch.) Then he turned around and walked away. My knees were shaking.
This is the picture I took with my camera. Hope you enjoyed the story.

This picture was taken by another member of our group, from the side, with a normal camera (non-digital).
