21 May

Today was a 300km ride to another coastal town called Veracruz where we were hoping to see the museum that is housing the Olmec colossal heads although when we got here we discovered that although the museum is called the Anthropology museum of Veracruz its actually based in a town some 100km away so we decided instead to spend the day by the pool drinking tequila and catching up on emails and blog.

Days ride

Our days ride…

Dinner was on the main square in the historic centre which is very much like San Cristobal in that it comes alive at sunset with bands playing, people dancing and kids running around and riding their bicycles.

Dancing in the square…

 
Be a sport Many of us have the means and wherewithal to undertake the dreams we want but elect to choose otherwise, many however, do not and that is the purpose of this plea. Afrika Tikkun (http://afrikatikkun.org// ) is a South African non governmental, non profit charity organisation run by the Lubner family that in essence does just that; re-provide the possibility to dream and to create the possibility of turning those dreams into a reality.

Unlike many pleas of this nature, I am not looking for any kind of sponsorship for my trip, but I am looking for your donation, regardless of its size to Afrika Tikkun. Please pledge generously as this is a fantastic cause that will assist them to provide food, care, education, health and social services to those that are desperately in need.
