Sorry this is late. I have been a little more tired after riding than I expected. Monday was a beautiful day for riding, sunny and not too hot. I started off from Two Harbors and needed to stop in at Aerostich in Duluth for some more luggage (I have to learn not to pack so much). It was a nice ride to Minneapolis via Brainerd. The only hard part was the wind, which was either a cross wind or in my face, never at my back. A gentleman at a rest stop was admiring my bike and asking where I was headed. When I told him, he gave me some suggestions for going through South Dakota, so I may be adjusting my route slightly. Nothing major, just trying to avoid the interstates.
I had a very nice visit with Bonnie and Mary. Dan even showed up to visit after working a 12 hour day. Bonnie and Mary kept trying to figure out what they would do if they had six weeks off. I feel very lucky to have this opportunity and to visit some of you.
I think the easy part of the trip is over, as I will have to fend for myself. No more places to stay or home cooked meals to eat. I truly appreciate what everyone has done for me so far. I also appreciate your comments and support on this site. I look forward to reading what you have to say.

hola pedro. one quick thing - i don't know if you just read the current day's comments or go back further; however, your dad left you a comment on day 0 or 1 ... i forget.
love, aLex
no home-cooked meals? (yes, i struggled to type that word.) hey, we're in the same boat, bud. count on fixing some chicken enchiladas when you get home. i am currently on the salad or cereal diet. (at least one cannot burn either of these.)
i think honey misses you more than we thought. she has been a bit more moody than usual. while she will walk at night, she won't come out of the closet other than to eat. maybe i should shave my head to get some attention from her.
work and all the other "life" stuff is fine. same old, same old. i am trying to get to bed on time (!) with your being gone, which is hard. while i love "owning" the tivo's memory and not seeing 20 "good eats" racked up, it's not the same without you here. we miss you!
keep blogging. keep riding. stay safe. watch out for mosquitos and other gross outdoorsy thingies.
love, aLex
p.s. honey and i saw a bunny the other day near the milwaukee ramp on racine. ya' know ... the place that has all that paving and roadwork stuff.
p.s.#2 don't worry. i am saving all of the mtv and vh-1 shows on the tivo for you. wouldn't want ya' to miss anything. gb you.
Sorry that we will not be in LA to offer you a home-cooked meal. Well, it would only be home-cooked if Simon were in town. May the wind be at your back today!
Pete, you rock. When you're on a sabbatical, is it okay to work on sundays?
