Headwind

First, typing with one finger and a keyboard the size of a matchbook is no fun for a guy who can't see without glasses and is too lazy to go get them. Anyhow...



A beautiful day to generate electricity if you are a windmill! But no rain, a super nice lady bought karina and I lumch. Best of all, we have visitors! Anny, cassidy and tesslin are with us tonight! I will write more about what has been happening over the last week once we get to Bloomington in a few more days.



Also, Karina's comment about the roller coaster should have said "OH MY!"

Big head wind in the afternoon plus a presistant leak in my rear tube slowed things down . Only managed 50 total, but they were beauties.



The laptop seems to have crashed, so I am on the virtual keyboard - joy.



We will have visitors tomorrow night- details later.



Two other things, one - if you feel inclined to make a donation, don,t be shy. Second, there is a raffel - tickets are $10 and first prize is one of the trikes ($3000 value - and very cool).



One more, if any of you know (or are) wives or mothers of military in Iraq or Afghanistan, we have some donated pearl necklaces to give to those people - just let me know.



Enough for tonight. Thanks!

Where are we today

McCutchenville, OH? We were just there this morning!



Nice day. 30 miles down, 40 to go!



Road a roller coaster last night at Cedar Point, OH. If you really like roller coasters, that's the place to go. Karina says "it my!"

What an awsome day!

If you have never been to Niagara Falls, you absolutely must go. It is so much more amazing than I was ready for and we had just the perfect day weather-wise to take it in. We got drenched by the American Falls, Karina was in and out of the torrents of spray for half an hour before she finally was ready to go to the next thing. I would watch her dissappear into the spray, then after a half a minute she would race out to the railing, rake and squeeze the water from her hair, big smile, then right back in. So wonderful.

Later we walked over the Rainbow Bridge to the Canadian side and got great views of the falls, then went for a ride on the Maid of the Mist boat. I figured we were going to get totally drenched, but the boat eventually navigated to this spot where the mists kind of missed, so we could take photos and all that. The water coming down. incredible.

couple of more photos

Sun came out for a bit! Karina on her trike taken near LeRoy, NY along Rt5.

The other is of the sky near Windam, NY between storms!

some photos

Lilah told me yesterday that since it was Father's day and I was not there, that she had changed it to Daughter's Day!

Thanks for all the messages!

Hi again, thanks to you all for the messages and comments! It is really fun! I wish I actually understood all this computer stuff better so I could comment back and all that, but I don't.(just happy to be having as much technological success as I have been so far!)

I'll Try to post some more photos today. Because the first bit has been a lot of pedaling, I have taken less photos than I might have. I mean, after all, how many photos does one need to see of a road in the rain with a field next to it (though, there have been some breathtaking fields, great roads, etc). I could have probably taken a photo of the insane pit bull that was just dying to break its chain to shred us, but I decided to get the hell out of there instead! (you can jsut get the mental image - mentally unstable dog on chain with bare ground under his range, huge mouth and big muscles (next day I bought pepper spray just in case. I have also been practicing light sabre techniques with my tire pump!)
