It's fairly early in the morning here, but I can't sleep. I am a ball of nerves and excitement and adventure, making final preparations to leave Eu. Two of my friends arrived a couple of days ago, and we've spend the past two days having too much fun and playing cribbage and making little adjustments to our bikes. Bungee cords to attach our stuff and trash bags to stay dry, new tires and good air pressure (we got to teach Andrea how to change a bike tire/tube!).
I can't believe how good it feels to be so genuinely excited about the people in my direct company... And to be around people who have as crazy of a sense of adventure as I do. Yesterday we went for a ride and got totally drenched in the super-cold rain, but did they care? Nope, they just wanted to walk out onto the cobble stone beaches and listen to the ocean.
Our general plan has so many holes in it, which means a million additional possibilities for us to fall into fun and adventure. I've pretty much accepted the fact that I will spend the next month damp and probably not too warm, and mostly in my tent at night. Our first main goal is to get to Brussels, and then on into Holland. After that, who knows! Maybe back south a bit, but the weather's warming up so much, hopefully it won't matter by then.
Aaand, to answer your question Candy: I no longer have a mailing address or a physical address or any way to receive letters in a timely fashion. If you send something to me here at the school (3 Rue Jean Mermoz/76260 Eu./FRANCE), I will get it, but not until some point in June. I will try to get some post cards in the mail as I bike, I promise!
At any rate, if you're reading this, chances are I love you very much and miss you quite a bit, too.
