Hey
Hey Red, So good to hear how you're going. Glad your safe and well and enjoying it. Or at least taking it all in. However glad I wasn't in that car with you. I have personal experiences in the long car travel with you and one might say you don't handle small confined spaces very well. Jks. It sounds rad though. I wish I was there with you. Your amazing. Can't wait to read the next one. Miss you broskies.. Love you. King.

keep posting your stories
Hey Joe, I saw this in my news feed from Sally or someone from your family and had a read. What an incredible experience and what a wonderful way to share your expertise with the world to benefit other people. I think your words, by your acts you shall be judged, speak wonders and i just wanted to wish you the very best. Africa is an incredible continent that amongst all the poverty and struggle so much joy shines through, i have never met people that are so optimistic and humble despite their circumstance and you are so lucky to experience it. Keep writing and posting pictures. It's an awesome read. Stay safe and enjoy the long dusty roads.
