We have been on the road now almost two weeks, and we are getting into the swing of things. We are enjoying lots of coastal views, rolling country roads, small town diners, and creative campsites. Life on the road is just as great as we remember it, along with some new things to get used to. Like roadside diaper changes and feedings, and our newest addition, Jo and her dog Kona. We are enjoying the looks and comments we receive when we roll through with our parade of bikes, bags, baby and dog. Kona is popular in her little trailer, and Leo of course has been charming everyone. The simplicity of traveling by bike is refreshing. However, with this trip, there are a few more considerations to make sure little Leo stays comfortable. All things considered, he is doing great. He sleeps or plays in the trailer, and smiles and laughs all day. And he is SO close to crawling.
Also, I have to mention the kindness we receive. For instance, last night we arrived at a campsite in the rain, soaking wet and hungry, and the neighboring campers immediately invited us over for pork chops, a warm fire and a covered table. Trail angels, I call them. Then after a rainy morning, we were welcomed into a home in Seaside along with several other weary travelers, to get a warm shower, a hot meal and a dry place to be. And lets not forget the sweet lady who saw us at subway and gave us a gift card for our next lunch. We just cant get enough of this mode of travel.
