I just rode 142.8 kilometers! Check it out on #strava: http://app.strava.com/activities/46355404 Constantly wowed -Love the scripture "Ask and you shall receive , seek and you shall find , knock and the door will open! "Started the day as my firsr day back cycling in about a week -walked over the road to see if I could buy some sort of food from the shops and to check out this guy who pretty much hadn't stopped yelling and making a racket since the night before I mean it was seriously laughable im talking a lot of yelling! In a quiet little village we all had quite a few chuckles about it -I didnt know quite what to expect -- he was drunk and when he did speak his voice deepened which Is what I thought he would be like - anyway on the road again just keen to make a start .Stunning weather again -a few hills to go up and over for a change which was nice - at the end of the day I stopped up the top of this hill to take a photo and to have a drink -this girl came and asked if I was alright I went to approach her and this little kid ran off when I asked her for directions she couldn't really give me an answer her dad came out and invited me to stay - it looked like such a cool place to stay so I said yes -I had been wanting to check out one of these villages -so this was definitely an answer to a request of mine! It was so awesome to be amoungst these humble people and to observe how they live -I was given a chair and table and before long some shema with beans and fry bread - I was quite keen for some meat so I asked if I could buy a goat off him and kill it - he wasnt as keen as I was about that idea -I asked if I could have a wash so they put a bucket of water inside a hut with a wodden plank to stand on - I couldnt find my soap and felt like a good scrub -I was so stoked when this woman appeared with some soap also!!! Its the little things- it was probably the last thing I expected but a thing I was hoping for -Thank God.we sat around they smoked a reefer rolled in some ordinary paper -the kids played while the goats licked the swet off my bike the woman went to fetch the water and everything had its time and place as the sun went down - I thought to myself gee this is special as the stars came out -what beautiful people and what a beautiful
