I got four cups of shave ice from Manguin (shown in the picture). He is Kurdish and a major fan of George W. Bush. This is perhaps part of why Manguin would not allow me to pay for the shave ice. I left him with a couple of pictures of my bicycle ride; he left me with contact info. Interestingly, the night before, I met an Arab Obama supporter who allowed me to sleep at his gas station. Sometimes politics can play a role in moving a bicycle around the world to fight epilepsy.
