June 22 Monday - Today was a very long day. We did 98 km in 10 hours starting at 7 am and finishing 5 pm. The road was really beautiful from Juliusdale. It started off with 20 km downhill through beautiful pine forests in the mountains. It looks like the Cascades. I got hot after lunch from 1 - 3 pm, but did ok. I ate an incredible amount of salt and it seemed to help me get through the heat. In the evening we stayed with Shinge's sister and brother in law: Michelle and Abel Musabayana. They made lovely chicken, sadza (corn meal grits porridge), salad , and veggies. There house is huge surrounded by a locked gate. They have a 3m fire place and about 4 acres of land with lots of banana trees. They and their children are lovely people. Thats all for now.
