SECOND EDITION.....Better formatted, revised margins, more Photos and other changes!!!AFRICA on BICYCLES? You must be CRAZY! Cat and Pat Patterson say, "When you have a DREAM, something that is hovering at the top of your bucket list and you're in your senior years, you'd better get rollin'." So, roll they did, over 265 days they pedaled 4,918 miles through 17 countries in AFRICA!The Pattersons sold their flourishing business, their cars and house, opted for early Social Security benefits, left family and friends and pedaled away from home and into an incredible journey of adventure and enlightenment. Through their stories in The African Dream, you will find lessons learned and lessons taught, myths debunked and mysteries of the Dark Continent exposed. Are there natives dressed in loin cloths carrying spears or big game animals roaming the roads? Will Muslims in Islamic Kingdoms or Republics be friendly or threatening? You'll find the answers to these and other often asked questions on the pages of their book.It is true that great swatches of jungle, arid lands and the vast Sahara Desert remain as they have been for centuries. Life in small villages is very simple. Yet, you will also find modern cities of glass and steel skyscrapers. If you have an AFRICAN DREAM, a bucket list itch to travel to Africa, don't wait until it's too late! There are as many ways to visit and explore Africa as there are people and places usually seen only on the pages of the National Geographic magazine.You may agree, AFRICA on BICYCLES is CRAZY. However, whether you go by bike, boat, plane or train, the journey is bound to fulfill your bucket and allow you to check a great experience off your list and into your memories. And, best of all, the people of Africa. Through the Patterson's stories and 400 photos you will meet a cross section of the many different cultures, customs and personalities that make up the rainbow nations of Africa. The Pattersons hope that seeing AFRICA through their eyes, stories and photos will instill the confidence you need to live your AFRICAN DREAM!
About the Author: About the Authors, 'Pat' and 'Cat' Patterson Pat and Cat sold their prominent Realty firm to fund their adventure. Both had experience in sales and marketing. Pat had spent almost 3 years cycling around the world in 1988 - 1990. He had thousands of photos, videos and a myriad of journals when the two met. His experiences crossing the USSR and China inspired them to set off on a second odyssey that included 9 months in Africa. Cat's daily journal became the basis for this, their first book, 'The African Dream'.
