Excellent Travel Book!

This is Pamela Watson's Great African Adventure. She used a bicycle to travel from Dakar, Senegal to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. I really enjoyed reading her account of her travels in Africa and found it very interesting. As a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer in Thailand, I could identify with her desire for adventure and her resourcefulness in carrying her plans out. It's amazing what a person can do once they put their mind to it and I think this trip, as well as writing her book will be a highlight of her life. I think she did a marvelous job at doing both.
