... not. <br><br>After the respective camping and running are over, we'll meet in Los Angeles to celebrate my 30th birthday before catching our flight from LAX to Bangkok.<br><br>Currently we're both recuperating from all of the dang shots we had to get for the trip, doing last minute research, attempting to fit all our stuff in small packs and wondering if JD's passport has enough room for visas and entry stamps. More to come...

July 17, 18, and 19 The Meet and Greet<br><br>Friday was the first day of the Meet and Greet and Karen (bless her heart) had arranged. I figured she'll never volunteer for THAT again! By the time I got there we were down to 4 others counting Karen and Pam. Pam was driving up from Tallahassee and I knew she&#8217;d be there and that Karen (bless her heart) who was driving down from Iowa would also be there. We weren&#8217;t ...

... look him up, I guess&#8212;if I ever have internet again! I really get unhappy about rv parks that advertise free wifi and then provide very BAD wifi.<br><br>Back at the rv park, we just had to wait for other folks who were coming to the parrot lists meet and greet. I knew for sure that Karen and Pamela were coming but wasn&#8217;t sure how many other folks were still able to attend. We knew we&#8217;d had lots of ...

... but somehow it's stayed alive and now it's a lovely, peaceful and quite interesting tourist destination.  Paul Tillich is buried here, Richard Meier designed the very modern Visitor Center, there are two Labyrinths (the original Harmonist one, made of privet hedge; and the newer "Cathedral" one, a replica of the Labyrinth in Chartres Cathedral), and there's also the "Roofless Church" built in ...

We been moving along to get home and it is a long way. So I'm going to post where we spend the night and then the next day it's off on the next leg. Were on our way to North Carolina and then to Florida. Sorry no pictures. Ray and Christa

The Jeep travels slow over the mountains but we eventually found our way out the other end. West Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana were the states we headed through today. We beat the sunset into Louisville (Mom "Di's" hometown) and got a chance to see the paddleboats on the Ohio River. We are looking ...

We reluctantly left this great hospitality at nine this morning (the other cyclists had left at 5:30 to do the same distance). Another good days progress was made and, to the horror of Hodge and Tom, we spent the night at a camp site at Rough River. More swimming in the river and a lazy afternoon in sun was enjoyed by all ...

... Elvis lookalike and all. The second lunch was enjoyed by all given that it was not bought on our budget! We proceeded to spend the next 4 hours in a rigorous match of Four Square (the local game that Pastor Bob introduced us to). Supper was even better than lunch and we were treated to our second serving of vegetables this trip, while we exchanged stories with another ...

... lunch, but in contrast to Cayucus was very commercialised. The ´famous´ clam chowder stall had a massive queue, and so we headed to Moe´s ribhouse (sadly no Simpso-style phone calls. Is there a Mr Freely here? An I P Freely?), which turned out to do superb ribs. Santa Barbara was one of the largest towns on this stretch of coast, and also has one of the best-preserved Spansh Missions which still to this day has monks in residence. After a quick look around the Mission, which in US ...
