Greetings from Mississippi! We have some more exciting pictures from the state line but they are on other people's cameras. You can check out others people's blogs (see links to the right) for more entertaining stories/photos. Anyway, today we biked to Biloxi, MS. It was about 60 miles, a pretty uneventful ride. Team Tardy actually arrived fairly early and just a little proud. Although that just means that other people had some rough days with flats, etc.
So we're working with Hands On Gulf Coast and staying at their home base which is awesome. It's basically a huge room and the upper loft has tons of bunks and rooms sectioned off with sheets. There are a few AmeriCorps people working here, as with all the sites we've been in. It's been interesting talking to them and hearing their stories to find out a little bit what's in store for me next year. (I'm an AmeriCorps VISTA next year in San Francisco with Jumpstart).
For dinner tonight some of us went to this dedication ceremony in a park. The park has been redone since Katrina and is really nice and safe now. We were definitely out of place there but we helped out best we could. The meal was great...very southern with chicken, baked beans, cole slaw, and tea. Nice.
I'm psyched about this wireless internet so I updated pics etc. Check it out.
So I am really sore. I've just come to accept the fact that my quads will be sore for the next 2 months. And my butt is doing better on the seat. Well at least now the bones don't hurt so much, but now it's the chafing/sores that are a problem. Nice image, right? But no worries, our "butt butt'r" a.k.a. butt lube comes in very handy. Didn't think it existed, did you? Thank god it does.
Tomorrow I'm signed up to teach English to little kids. It could be awesome or awful; I'll let you know. :)
