This native Yakutian taught us about the customs and traditions of the Yakutsk people. Here, he prepares kindling for a fire.

Notes: Hello again from Siberia. Everybody's doing great here, and we're planning to leave in two days. Tomorrow, we will cross an ice river over to the road that will take us to our final destination in Magadan. The next day, we will begin driving again. The drive will take at least 5 days, and we'll most likely have no opportunities for Internet along the way. We'll be driving through reindeer farms, ice rivers, and snow fields, and it will be AWESOME! We could conceiveably be home for Thanksgiving!
Still having fun in Yakutsk. Tonight we had a team dinner, and everybody danced like wackos afterward. I think only Manrico stayed off the floor. Todd stole the night with his "pump-it-up" dance... Todd is a very good dancer, ladies... (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.
