So, with all of these longs days on a truck traveling in Africa, how you do pass the time? Well, there's lots of things to do; you can:
a) Sleep- which is tough when you are bouncing around on gravelly roads.
b) Read- there again, it takes a trained eye to keep steady while you bounce around.
c) Eat- which we all did with quite a bit of frequency, stopping off at every truck stop and filling up with chips (crisps for the Europeans), cookies (biscuits for the Euros), drinks, and other assortment of crap.
d) Listen to music- This all depended on if you had a MP3 player or not and if it was fully charged, as sometimes the charging fairy would visit the Ipod's while they were charging and mysteriously unplug them in favor of his/her own electronic device.
e) Stare aimlessly out into the African country side- which we all did on multiple occasions.
Barring all of those things, you could do something fun when you got your chance to sit with the tables..........play cards! Fortunately, Paula, my truck mate, and I had Michael and Krys with us to show us the wonderful game of Euchre. Things got quite heated, especially when things started to go sour on Michael, but a fun time was had by all involved.
More later......
Love, peace, and soul.
