Day 2- "See the Jungle when it's wet with rain"

I woke up last night to heavy rain, thunder and lightning. I woke up Aleshandro "Alek, it's raining," he ran outside naked in the rain and started fixing the fly. I love storms and the rain and was screaming and laughing for half an hour. It reminded me of tree planting and the time that our family and Alex(cousin) went hiking in the West coast of the island and it rained for 3 days straight, our canoe rolling down the beach in the rain like it was a piece of paper. We woke up later to puddles of water in our tent. My cell phone charger learned how to swim that fateful morning. This afternoon we saw elephants and monkeys in a park that was on the side of the road. I sang to the elephants and thought that they were dancing to my music, but really I think that their rooms were too small and they were stretching their legs. I saw one of them give another a kiss with his/her husks it was pretty cool because they were in different rooms and so "Pinkey" had to go on his hind legs. COOL an elephant! I'm so happy to be cycling and not bussing. I can smell the jungle sweetness, hear the frogs and the birds. Alek is shaving his beard with his bicycle mirror right now and all of our wet stuff is drying on a fence in the sun. A foreign biker man went speedily by and Alek was extremely dissapointed that he didn't take the time to visit with us, since we're fellow travelling bikers. He calls them "Foreigners" and "Sportsmen".

You Belong To Me -Bob Dylan

See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember, darling, all the while
You belong to me

See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me

I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me


I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me
