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.
