Crossed from Mississippi into Alabama today. Tomorrow we will enter into Florida and have about a weeks worth of riding left and then we will be home. I am anxious to get home and back to work  and see everyone, but there is a bit of melancholy sadness as well of the thought of the trip being over. It is a simple life, riding your bicycle all day enjoying the scenery, thinking, and then camping. The sadness I think comes from recognizing how busy and complicated normal life is and we are about to jump back into it again.
