WE DID THE FIRST DAY!!

51 miles and a generous ride from the Babiczs. We love them! Just in time to avoid a torrential downpour. We gave the Babiczs a potted pansy because we were kind of feeling like some (pansies). But we're off again, doing less miles to avoid the "record breaking heat" (the heat index is supposed to reach 105!) and to rest Kathrin's poor little knee. Spirits are high, we're grateful for our hospitable hosts and keep being reminded of the kindness of strangers.

The journey of 1,500 miles begins with a single mosquito bite.

We received a text message from Hannah today at 6:30 Eastern time. She said "Safe and sound outside of Ashland VA. Richmond early tomorrow with Mike's friends. Two flats today and we made it."

(Mike is our son and Hannah's brother.)

It's a long way to Santa Fe. By then your legs will be... hmm... delicate but powerful.

Think about how man fell from Paradise. You don't require Milton's conjectures. Who needs talk when he's got road?
