1 more thing

I almost forgot the most important part of our day: the food. Our gracious hosts provided us with a potluck dinner FEAST and I ate too fast and too much. But when you're in the presence of such compassion and goodness, you can't help but have an appetite.

We dip our back wheels in the ocean tommorow to signify the start of the trip - a 66 mile ride and that much closer to San Diego. Oy oy...big dinners, good people, cycling stories, and the unknown - I could get used to this.

    First stop: Swan Quarter, NC

    -unincorporated village. Maybe you'll sing some YMCA with the village people while there?
    -elevation: 0ft. At least it's not a down or uphill journey.
    -located on Swanquarter Bay, an inlet of Pamlico Sound, on the "Inner Banks" of NC
    -originally settled by Sam Swann. Hence the name, durr
    -Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge: habitat for birds and alligators. don't fall in the water!!

    That's all! Good luck on your first day

    Day 2: Belhaven, NC
    -on the north shore of the Pungo River. Hopefully it isn't pungent

    there was absolutely nothing to do in swan quarter - but great people. it was just one road along 264W and the nearest grocery store was 9 miles in either direction.
