I can’t personally imagine cycling from Black Diamond to Longview, never mind around the world. However, in January 2006 that is exactly what Salva Rodriguez decided to do when he left his teaching post in Spain and loaded up his bicycle with a tent and all the basics.
Now, five and half years later, Salva took a much needed rest in Longview to dry out from the recent rains and enjoy Longview Mayor, Ivor McCorquindale’s hospitality.
He said, “The most unique place I have slept was in a border police watch tower between Ethiopia and Kenya.” Afghanistan was interesting but the war didn’t touch him. The victims of the war were the people who befriended him.
A journal of his journey and many photographs can be viewed at:
