In Arusha

We arrived in Arusha yesterday after a short flight from Zanzibar. While the humidity is down the rain is up. The camp site we are at has been soaked for the past few days and my tent is a bit damp. The good news is that I have been able to get a new tent!!! I am a happy camper and I will set it up when I get back to the campsite.

My bike needed a good cleaning after the truck ride it had through Kenya. It was coated with red dust as was all the stuff in my redbox. So I cleaned it all up, degreased the chain and relubed it. The tires are fine and I am ready to ride!!!!...if it rains we are all concerned about what that wil be like but we will cross that river when we get there!

I have had some exciting news about my arrival in Cape Town. I can't believe it but there will be 12GAP students, 2 staff and Ralph my good friend who drives us each year when we go to GAP and my GREAT friend Helen Valleau who will be there to greet me...how exciting and cool is that!!! It will make the ride from here on in so much more.!!!I am truly blessed to have received this news and I trust that all will go well for all of them as they travel to Cape Town. I am reminded once again that the universe has an amazing way to support each of us as we venture through life.

So with this news I will now travel back to camp and think about what the finish will be like...WOW!..thank you to the sponsors of this treat!!!!!

My love to all and may you all be as blessed as I am.

I will write more when I get to our next rest day.
