On the other hand, it seems as though many along your trek exist in their own sphere, and since you are passing through it, regard that transience as not contributing or taking away from their normal routine. A phrase that I have used in the past that seems appropriate here is that "Not everyone you meet during your journey through life will have the desire or capacity to keep up with you." Thanks again for providing the means for us to do so, as I would be hard pressed to be biking at the pace you are keeping, Doug! As an expeditionary thought, do you have a way of recording any of the jungle sounds that you are hearing at night? Have found that the sound in videos I have taken to be an evokative element in recalling the moment when the footage was taken.

Got to admit I don't think I could take that much punishment and continue on the next day. A good meal, clean sheets and a little snow might look pretty good. Stay safe Amazon Pilgrim. Love ya Wow!
