Caribbean 25 May: Guyana
Our run for May 25 actually began on the afternoon of May 24. After a very busy day we had a leisurely forty minutes to shower, pack before driving about 5 hours to the other end of the country to spend the night. We woke up to a delicious breakfast of Roti on the river looking out towards Suriname, our next country.

Just as we were about to start running the heavens opened up and it poured. This didn’t seem to dampen the spirits of our accompanying runners.

The pace was just slow enough that Salil was able to extricate himself from the van and from behind the video camera to run about a mile.

Everywhere the torch brings smiles to peoples faces, it is a magic that never ceases to deliver.

We finished our journey to Georgetown arriving after dark and carried the torch into the 40th Anniversary of Independence. Here Yvonne Hinds, wife of Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, holds the torch.
