PACKED UP, STOPPED FOR COFFEE BEFORE BEGINNING THE ADVENTURES!
Its Saturday, March 30. If all goes according to plan we will begin our pedaling this morning! I couldn't sleep very well and I've got butterflies in my stomach, woke up well before my alarm. We will head through the city, take a ferry across the Mississippi and, after riding along the river for a while, we will head south-west into the Louisianna SWAMP. We're looking to go about 60 miles today, which is doable because its so flat.
Here's where the rubber meets the road folks. The bags are packed, Zach has tweaked the bikes to perfection, I've got some food--we're as ready as we'll ever be.
The duo that is Chloe Lee (childhood friend) and Danny Lang (her man), have made our time in New Orleans so wonderful. Thank you guys! We've been fed, given a very cozy bed, shown around the city, helped with errands, and all sorts of good stuff. If they made it any better we wouldn't leave. Definitely off to a good start.
Happy Easter.
