Cattle drive on the bike path.

The road doesn’t seem as bad today, though we’ve gotten several flats from thorns we picked up while cycling off-road.  In Haneti we met Mr. Mtoro who owns a nearby gem mine.  At first we were sceptical when he offered to give us samples to take back to the US;  but could not refuse when Julie saw that one is an opal, the same as in her wedding ring.
