I'm blogging from the Los Osos Library computer right now, about 13 miles north of SLO. We made it!! So today's a day to relax and then tomorrow we'll start the conference craziness.
I'm sitting here remembering the last time I showered (I'll say 4 days ago) in the cleanest clothes I could find while waiting for Mark to wash everything else (thank you, Mark!) wearing my dirty, now holy, very smelly shoes. I'm beginning to wonder what my computer neighbor thinks of having this pigpen sitting next to her and wondering if she's overwhelmed by my more than likely offensive odor.
I'm beginning to wonder how the re-integration process will go, how I will begin to worry about frivolous like cleanliness and outfit coordination when I've only been concerned with very much more important topics recently: safely navigating the road from destination to destination, arriving before dark.
I've developed a new perspective on life these past 10 days.
I'm almost out of time, so let me say this: it has been an INCREDIBLE trip that I recommend to anyone brave enough to sign up for such an adventure. I'm super thankful to have been afforded the opportunity to be a part of it.
Love and happy cycling!
Lisa
