Lost and Found

Lost:
Two toothbrushes
My favorite pair of socks
Countless pens at each border
One bath towel
My only rain jacket
Countless hours of sleep from people snoring
One breakfast bowl
Two pairs of sunglasses
One girlfriend
All sense of time

Found:
Ear plugs that almost work
One Toronto Maple Leaf hockey jersey in Iringa
One stone used for scraping hides
A new workout routine—digging latrines
Realizing riding 207km feels the same as 150km, except longer
Learning never to judge a country by what you see on TV…you need to go there
New friends from all over the world

Many thanks to all the family and friends who gave me support throughout the tour and the staff of TDA, who put up with me for the last four months
