Wow! Another long day of 88 miles, but the weather was perfect, the skies were blue, and the humidity was moderate. We cycled through pine forest, past large open fields, near well manicured neighborhoods and fine homes, past a prison, past a herd of long horns that had the biggest horns I have ever seen, through a very large town/city, back through country roads, to a suburb outside of Baton Rouge. At about mile 66, we stopped at a gas station/market/deli that we had heard about. While we were waiting, a young man asked us some questions about our trip and then said, Where do y'all bathe at night? It just struck me funny so I asked him if we smelled that bad. He just thought we'd get all hot and sweaty everyday and would get dirty from the blowing dirt of the trucks and such that went by. Well, we were out in the country with very little services so I guess that was a reasonable question for a person who lives there and we were still about 25 miles away from a hotel.
I think I'm caught up now on my blog. One more day in Louisiana and then we head to Mississippi.
