To: Camp Kenya #1 (near Sololo)
Nice morning ride. Rode with Young Sean most of the morning, for the first time. Also, nice evening ride into Sololo village where I met some friendly men chewing chat. Otherwise, hot! Too hot! Reached 112 degrees farenheit today!
Have decided that tomorrow I'm going to skip riding on these rough, bumpy roads, in heat, and go straight to Marsabit, by whatever means of transport I can find. My friends can catch me there the following day.
Thought about it and decided that the only reason to ride this strecth of rough road (through bandit territory, with police escorts) was pride. Luckily for me, however, I am in a very fortunate position. I established early on, day 2 of this trip, back in Egypt, that I have no pride. This stroke of good fortune is what is allowing me, with no internal struggles, to skip this stretch of road and go straight to Marsabit. Yippeeeee!
