update
hi all of you amazing people.
i decided to get on and 'update' you all since i had a short 40 mile riding day and am at the local library and headed to the post office (hopefully it's not closed).
i am having an awesome time but it is definitely tiring as all get out. i'm not a good sleeper so often having 30 people in the same room as me can get to be a pain. i also feel like i am doing numbers to my body biking day after day. luckily, the day after tomorrow we get out first day off in memphis. i don't know how cool that will be since everyone seems to think memphis is pretty lame. i did find a vegan place that i am going to try to scope out. i was hoping there would be an all vegan place since that has the highest possibility of vegan desserts (which i will sadly admit to missing) and good veggie heavy meals. i'm hanging in there with food stuffs, visiting a piggly-wiggly for the firast time yesterday was pretty rediculous, though. i found peanut butter with egg whites there! rediculous.
in terms of everything else it has really been awesome, though. the group of people is fun and it is cool talking with locals in all of the places we go (even though i can barely understand some of the heavy TN accents i've been hearing lately).
i got the pkgs. from bp and queen bee, as well and that was so nice! (aside to queen bee: i accidentally tossed the evvelope before i wrote down your address so i can't send you a post card :( i feel really dumb).
the southern heat is insane! i am not used to the humidity so biking through it is pretty killer, but i am sure the desert will be worse anyway. i am looking forward to skin cancer in a few years ;).
i hope you guys are all doing well, i wish i had the time to sit and read, but i don't because i have no idea when the PO closes and i get kicked off of the cfomputer in 20 minutes (it's timed!).
Awwww, :)>>>
Thanks for the update! Such an amazing trip!

Hey hannah! You probably won'tsee this forever--but did you get the card/letter I sent to you??? I hope so!!!! :)>>>
haha, only 8 more posts to catch up to you............CRAZY! I didn't think it would actually happen...
i got your card, cap.
they had to forward it so i got it a couple weeks after.
i knew you would catch up, ac.
Hi hespy!
....did you get my card and cookies? I hope they didn't end up as crumbs...
i got the cookies and stickers and they were both awesome! i have not put the sticker on my bike yet because i want to paint it when i get home, but i am excited to do so.
my butt is sore. lol. i am definitely looking forward to rebuilding my healthy relationship with my bike instead of having it hurt me. it isn't so bad, though, for the most part. i only have about 8 more riding days left! it is going to be bitter-sweet when this is over... i can't say there aren't aspects of "normal" life that i won't enjoy going back to (staying in the same place every day.. ). i did see the first california sign today when i passed an interstate and it said "west: Los Angeles" CRAZY! i also biked through the grand canyon yesterday which was awesome.
i got your card, cap.
they had to forward it so i got it a couple weeks after.
Oh good! I'm glad you got it--sorry it had to be forwarded--I thought it would make it in time to that stop...well, hope it was a cheerey little thing for you anyways :)
yes!!! you rock!! i cant believe your almost back to CA already. thats just insane. just think. for the rest of your life, you can say "i biked across the us" thats fucking bad ass!
(sorry for the curssies... im listening to nwa. . hhaha)
Yay - hespy, you're almost done!!
p.s. did you get my card?
