Ouch

imageI still occasionally fall over on my bicycle because I forget to unclip my feet from the pedals of my bike before I stop. We are staying in a church tonight and as we rode into the parking lot I was looking around at the buildings and admiring them thinking about what this church was like. I pulled up to where John and Richard were and stopped, and as I started to go over like a chopped tree I thought, “whoops”! John took my picture before I could get up. It does hurt like the dickens, but I wasn’t going to say that, just laugh and rub my knee and elbow like crazy to get the pain to go away. We rode 60 miles today through farm ground of Louisiana and it was awesome. I didn’t know that they raised sugar cane anywhere Β in the lower 48 States, but we saw thousands of acres of it today. We saw a dead alligator that was about 6 feet long by the road that someone had evidently hit with a car, a dead armadillo, lots of very big frogs, turtles, and more snakes. As I said earlier we are staying in 1st Baptist Church of St Francisville, Louisiana. Patty and I have our pads and sleeping bags in what they call their “Family Center”. Tomorrow we are riding almost 90 miles and we will be staying at the Police Center in Franklinton. We get to sleep in the interrogation room!!

    Oh we are so sorry about your fall. Ouch! You guys are so tough….that is so many miles. Allegators, snakes, frogs, and armadillos…we can tell you are getting close! They just killed a record: 16 foot, 780 LB alligator just north of us. Looking forward to seeing all of you!
