Day 56 - game of tortoise and Hare, mm 477
 I started a game of Tortoise and Hare as we paddled down the river. Usually, we would have to jump in the water to cool ourselves off every hour or so and made a stop here and there at some shady spot on the river bank to rest due to horrendous heat of the afternoon. Today, I told Jeffrey to ease down his paddle stroke. We just take our sweet time and paddle lightly so we don't sweat and not get tired. While the other guys on the other canoes were still paddling hard and left us behind, we continued paddle lightly try not to break a sweat. At the end of the day, we (the tortoises) still made it to camp at the same time as the other guys (the hares) did, making the same distance but not over exhausted. We had an interesting & annoying experience with a sand storm today at our campsite. The sand storm swept away our tents and put a nice thick coat of sand on all our stuffs. Sand is everywhere, in everything!
