Winston-Salem

We didn't really know we would be coming thru Winston Salem until about 2 days ago, which was a nice surprise because my friends from Semester at Sea, JB and Theresa just happen to live here. Been great to see them for the few short hours and though it is very tempting to stay, after the hopefully successful purchase of a new back tire for Brian, we will hit the road again. It is hard to believe that we have less than two weeks before we hit NYC and do the 5 Boroughs bike tour. What is even more crazy is that we really don't have a plan after that. What will we do? Who will we see? How will we get back to the Cruz?  All good questions and I'm sure the answers will surprise us and delight us but they will have to wait, because my nice warm bed (for the night) is calling my name. And chances are good, I'll sleep better than I did behind the K-Mart. 
Night from Tobacco Country.

  2. After NYC you'll come to visit me in Ithaca! I know it's like 8 weeks until I arrive but I'm sure you can find something to do until then. I'm worth the wait and I'm counting on 4th of July with the Holtz clan!
