Definiely one of the cooler people we have met all trip, so we were walking down Canal st. in downtown New Orleans and saw these two people ride by with bags on there bike like us. We said "HEY STOP STOP", and they looked quite puzzled for a few seconds, we then figured out they were foreigners and speak mostly spanish. So we got there bikes off the street and with what little spanish I learned in high school haha and what little english they could understand we told each other a little bit about both our trips. They came flew from Granada Spain and left from Tampa, Fl to ride across the US to Southern California, just as we are doing. I helped them with some routes i told them to take and told them where they needed water and where they should ask for rides because there was no water. Super nice people that were very friendly and said to come stay with them whenever we wanted to in Spain, so might have to look into that :)
