FRIENDLY PEOPLE
This is just a shout out to Louisiana in general. People here are damn nice. Its almost confusing. We've been fed TONS, bought whiskey, invited over, put-up, given gifts (a Swiss Army knife, energy gels, camping food, Dr. Pepper), taken kayaking.... We've met someone almost every time we sit down. Everyone has somthing good to tell you. Some area history. Some passion they want to share. I don't know if its because we're on the bikes or if its just a southern hospitality thang....It's all been so wonderful and intense and fun, part of the reason we're moving so slowly right now--there's so much to do, and so many people to get to know. Thanks to everyone who is making our time feel so rich and so good.

so happy to hear of the adventuring !
thats incredible, the meeting of friendly people,
how wonderful! , i thought you might meet crocodiles on the road!
can you tell us some of the stories you hear?
how does a bayou look like,
how does the wiskey tastes like?
here it had been cold, windy,snowy at times,....but lo and behold,
today some crocusses sticked their first heads out!
i blow thousands of kisses into the wind and send them onto your trail !
much love mom
Hope all of your visits across your route are with nice people. Here in South Louisiana, the Acadians (Cajuns) respond very positively to people that love life and the adventuring spirit. The joie des vivre (love of life) you experienced from us Cajuns was in direct response to the vibes you all generated.
Keep having a fun and safe trip.
