Paris Opera rocking in the Sahara Desert after stage 5

Go figure huh? End of day day 5 (42.2km or 26.2 miles) and that was after the previous 50+ mile day. Day 5 described in guide book as go N/E, sandy wadi bed, more and more wadi, sandy valley, MIND THE CREVASSE (technically adjusted crossing), dried up lake, no sh--t, cross wadi, stony plateau, scattered dunes, exit dunes, head N/E bearing 36 degrees....gotta say it...Ouch!

But when you think it s not possible for more surprises. The sun begins to set, you hear the big helicopter landing, and out pops the Paris Opera.

What? I have to share. Thank you all again. Thoughts to follow as soon I stop for a few days. I've been working non stop since Rick's Cafe in Casablanca. And yes, I am still in the WOW stage..I did it! We did it! Big Smiles.

From the Sahara Desert in Morocco to the Apollo Theater in Harlem

Thank you everyone for the support and belief in me throughout my involvement in the 25 Marathon des Sables. A complete write up of my thoughts, along with my best images and video clips will be on-line in a few days. I flew straight to New York, via Casablanca and Paris, for a speaking engagement with one of my very best clients/supporters.
