Notes: Well, we're not yet finished for the day, but I thought I'd write while we have the chance. We still have 1000 km to travel before we reach Irkutsk, and we won't have Internet until then. It's about 5 p.m. here, and we'll put in a few more hours of driving. The roads have been fair, with lots of slick icy spots. Now, though, they are improving, for now, and there's no ice. But it's COLD. We're being super careful, and we're looking forward to meeting up with Take Me With You! guests Debbie, Mary Beth, and Manrico in Irkutsk.
We picked up some good karma this morning by jumpstarting a stranded car. It's cold here, and being stranded is NOT good. (N.O.) | ||
Help support our cause: The LONGITUDE Expedition is the longest journey ever attempted with a focus on Parkinson's Disease. The Drive Around the World team aims to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease research by driving four Certified, Pre-Owned Land Rover Discoverys around the globe following lines of longitude. Readers are encouraged to pledge small amounts of money per expedition-kilometer via a pledge form that can be found on our Parkinson’s page by clicking HERE. One hundred percent of donations received go directly to Parkinson's research, and all who donate $10 or more will be entered into a raffle to win an expedition-equipped Land Rover Discovery.
