An easy stage due to good roads with tarmac.
The last two days our accommodation has been as guests in young athletes
summer camps.
Usually our small presentation of the run and our team takes 45 minutes,
but here it takes 1 1/2 hour or more !
Their interest is intense and questions often go on until we must say
"Thank You" and go to bed to be ready for the next stage.
I (J.) feel it is a good symbiosis with strong inspiration for both the
children/young sportspeople and our team :-)
Yet I must admit we enjoy today?s accommodation, too, at an almost luxury
'Sports Hotel':
Hot showers - with soap !
Further Kazuka and I both have single rooms; with TV ! When did I last
see TV ?!!
And it occurs to me understanding of the planet we run grow bigger for
every month & every 1000 km now.
But watching the TV, I begin to understand less the way people deal with
it & its many positive possibilities !
Watching the news; building of a Israel-Palestine wall; deployment of oil
rigs in Russia arctic waters. Yet another union with military 'defence',
etc.
But perhaps it is just the absence of daily news, that makes parts of our
common use of the planet seem a bit less logical, seen from our stand-/run
point out here in Siberia... ;-)
