Not much to report, except that I saw some of the early riders come in. Apparently, a brutal day! Adrie and Gunther's faces were caked with mud!
Also, confirmed today that Annett will be visiting in Arusha - super cool! Three days! We may go up in a hot air balloon to see the animals in Serengeti or Ngoro Ngoro. Maybe. She's afraid of heights, but that seems like a minor detail.
Finally, spent several hours in the evening in a neat shop, where they couldn't manage to give me tea without sugar. By the end, I was becoming quite friendly with the server, who kept bringing me tea WITH sugar. It became a joke. Later, he wanted to ask the kitchen to prepare some unusual dish for me. I said, "Are you kidding? You've been a complete failure at the request of tea without sugar. Now we want some unusual dish?" He laughed. Later, he and I went out and had a beer and nyama choma (meat). He said, "I know why you like beer. There's no sugar." I said, "That's right!" (Even though there is sugar in beer, but that seems like a minor detail to the story.)
And I leave you with another random picture. This one was taken last year, when I went to Burundi with the people in the car - Ali, John Paul, and Annett. I promise to get a new camera in Nairobi so that my photos become relevant again.
