When we arrived at our hotel today we noticed it was right next to a major lake that had a beach on it. This more then made up for the past three nights that were not so accommodating. After going to sleep for three hours from 10am to 1pm I decided to eat lunch with the Grey and Yellow team and then head out to “site see.” Upon leaving the hotel to “site see” I was wondering if I would “run” into a few other team members who already choose to do the same thing. After walking 100 meters and setting foot on the sand I noticed a huge group of people huddled around something but I was not sure what was going on. So I decided to walk over to the middle of the beach and see what all the commotion was about. Once I pushed through the crowd of about 40 people on the beach I noticed Emmanuel Kibet in the center o the crowd taking photos with all the lovely females on the beach. I thought what a way to cause a scene. When he noticed me standing there he announced to everyone “I am the King of Russia, A man of the people and this is my friend Richard.” Within the next 5 seconds everyone was taking photos with me for the next hour. For the rest of the day anywhere I went people in the town would stop and ask me for a photo. After realizing this could go on forever I started to accept the fact that since I am a friend of “The King of Russia,” I too need to be a man of the people and justly do my duty by servicing the locals with such a simple request. Blueplanet run serves the people, pass it on!
