Day 13 (May 8) - Peru, IL

First things first: Happy 24th Birthday to my sister!

I kept expecting to see an umbrella overhead with Julie Andrews hanging beneath. With an improbable, overnight shift in the winds, these sails were bodied enough to travel a miraculous 127.4 miles in less than 8 hours. I'm shaking my head too. Amazing. Thanks to Eric for early morning ride and all around support, and thanks to Theresa for finding a safe, paved, low-traffic, as-short-as-possible-but-still-127.4-mile route on the outskirts of the Windy City. Big dinner tonight!

(ps - happy birthday to my sister)

This is such a fantastic way of waking people up and getting us all together. I feel so connected with everyone who feels connected with you. As usual, the true leader and hero in you does good things to and for people. Thanks and I love you. mom

P. S. Hey Lani!

Happy Birthday Lorna (I met you once in NH at another one of Carson's crazy ideas) - I hope you had a good birthday.

Carson & Eric, you need to turn North immediately. I'm serious.

In honor of your trip and Eric's minor setbacks, I wrecked the back wheel of one bike, punctured the tire on another bike, and lost a glove this week. Ahh bike season!
