Talk about surreal. We just spent our 13-hour layover in London touring the city with 75,000 bikers that happened to be here for an annual bike-around-London event. We walked the tourist attractions in London, just about all of the main ones… Big Ben, Parliament, the Thames, Westminster Abby, the London Eye, St. James Park, and Buckingham Palace. We got sandwiches and ate them in a park lying under a sycamore tree. I put a leaf in my journal with the thought that I might not see a sycamore for the next four months. Do they have large hard woods in Tanzania/Kenya? I sort of assumed not, because they would need a lot of water and nutrients to be so big and tall, neither of which are in abundance all year round in Northern Tanzania or Southern Kenya. I am really curious to see the vegetation there and how it varies with the water availability and distance from the mountains.
Next time from Tanzania!
