and we're out!
We finally crossed the Sabine River and made it into Louisiana. The menu has changed to frog legs, crawfish, turtle stew and alligator. The road kill has changed to snakes, frogs, turtles, and alligator. Huh.
We had a 90 mile ride today through a consistent downpour. The rain was actually a nice change, and we kept our spirits high. Joanna kept a phenomenal pace throughout the day... though we managed to come in last. Between a late start, a leisurely lunch break, and 2 flat tires there was little hope for us making it in much before dinner.
We weren't the only ones with flat tires today... I think there were 9 total between the 22 riders. Rosetta had been flat-free until this treacherous day!
We are drying our clothes as best we can tonight, and hope to get some good pics of Louisiana when the weather clears up a bit. It is Sarene's first time back to this state since we lived here in 1979.
