Zman and Sean. Building behind them isn't Zman's home.

The finish line for Budapest-Bamako 2012 was Bissau. The capital of the west Africa country of Guinea-Bissau. We stayed in Bissau a number of days to sell our truck, The Wildebeest.

Outside our hotel was a red dirt parking lot, drainage ditch and an open area litter with trash the size of three America football fields. In the middle of the garbage field was a loosely built bamboo shack surrounding a small tree. Zman is the 2 year old that lives there with his family. Seemingly healthy little pant-less guy full of wonder and energy. Just a kid being a kid not knowing he lives in one of the poorest countries in the world.

Zman and his family live near the swamp in the upper left corner of this photo. This is right outside the hotel.

Visiting this school in east Guinea-Bissau was very emotional for me. The school has capacity for only 30 of 800 children in this village. Lack of the opportunity for education is pervasive in this part of Africa.

We are continuing to raise money to help break the cycle of poverty one person at a time.

I edited this video while in the backseat of The Wildebeest as we drove non-stop from Italy to Morocco. I’ve been attempting to upload it for nearly 3-weeks. Success in Bissau! Enjoy.

We’ve been buying lots of fresh vegetables and cooking our meals. Was nice to find some wash and sand to clean our dishes up.

Overlooking some rally participants at sunset on B2 Beach, Mauritania.

We had a challenging, but educational day learning how to drive in loose sand. The finish for yesterday’s stage was at the beach in the photo. We arrived by driving at low tide to this site. It was truly an amazing location in the middle of nowhere.

Everyone is healthy and safe. Tomorrow we head into Senegal!
