A Day Off!

Well today has been my first day of real rest my whole trip. It feels good to be able to relax, take a shower, do some laundry and some shopping. Thank you to Blaise for allowing me to use his computer so I could e-mail some photos home of my trip so far if you get a chance you should take a look at his blog and see a few of his rides,http://www.bygonebicyclist.com/. Tomorrow the ride continues east toward New Mexico.

(Hello everyone, well today marks an eventful day for our family. Dad had a day off from riding and Joan had her baby girl today. Orleans Hedwig Pocernich was born at 7:22 pm and came in at 20", 7 lbs 11oz. So if you might see or speak to our dad give a big congratulations and let him know that he needs to add another name to the next postcard he writes to Andy. I hope you all like tonights update with the photos, I am glad that something other than maps are going up. Till next time, Tim)
