To Pennsylvania & Beyond
Biking in territory that is familiar is really comforting after being far from home for weeks. We stayed at my childhood home in Ohio, and my father biked with us into Painesville. Yesterday I biked the same day of biking that I did three years ago when I joined Eric & Jason on their Northern Tier route. Familiarity is comfortable. As we move on from Ohio to PA I find myself excited to be approaching unfamiliar territory again. I am very excited about our upcoming bit into Canada. I've never been to Niagara and have seen very little of Canada. I'm shifting back into adventure mode.

Hello, Eric and Rachael! Nice biking with you for a bit today! Hope the rest of your trip is quick and uneventful (and downhill)! If you are in North East, PA again, or are planning on coming up for our September wine fest, let us know! You can get in touch with me through my school. lfordyce@nesd1.k12.pa.us Safe riding! Laura and Patrick Fordyce
Liam drew a picture of Shira today. Actually, it's the first recognizable 'human' drawing he's ever done. He told me he drew her head and her spine. Later, when I asked about the spine, he said, "You can't see it, it's under her skin!" Silly me. What a Petit Prince moment. Sigh, I guess I'm a grown-up. He also drew a house for her and wrote her a letter (I wish I'd written it down!). He also wrote you a group letter that I wrote down and sent to you guys (addressed to: Goompa, Uncle Eric, Auntie Rae and their friend of theirs (Shira)). It should be waiting for you when you get back to Pittsburgh. :-)
@Mara -- My head and spine are definitely my most important parts, I'm glad Liam got them in!
Also, your friends are pretty awesome.
