Last night was great night driving, then the rains, then the road became pot holes of mud and rocks, and then -- just as we found good paved roads again -- the engine stopped. Today was better, until it wasn't.

When we stopped for dinner there was a kid that worked at the roadside restaurant that 'spoke' perfect English, like a parrot he could repeat anything, but understood not a word.
When we pushed off around sunset we went about 20 kilometers and the rains came. We pushed on at a 100, we were on a schedule. They subsided about an hour later. However, there is nothing to make your heart skip a beat faster than flying down a dark road and in an instant be upon cows blocking your path.
