Armadillos!!!!

So I have finally found an armadillo that I have been searching for all trip! Here is a video of one of them, there were two next to eat other munching on some grass. This is in Louisiana on our way from Lafayette to Morgan City, I saw them on the side of the 90 highway.

Finally out of Texas and into Louisiana

We have crossed the border of Texas today and entered Louisiana, that was a big accomplishment for us. It was the biggest state and about a third of our trip, now we are headed towards New Orleans then making out way across the southern parts of Mississippi and Alabama into Florida! We should be in Florida sometime late next week, and then another week or so to get to Jacksonville. So it is definitely coming fast, and we are going to be seeing a lot of different things this next week, including New Orleans, part of the oil spill, and Katrina's epicenter. We have now pedaled over 1,600 miles, and still have about 1,000 more to go. But we are feeling great and just taking it day by day, we are going to try and not take a day off for the next two weeks until we get to our destination. Just going to put in some easier days with mileage in the 70-80 mile range and also maybe leave a bit later and sleep in a bit. Thanks everyone for the e-mail's, text messages, calls, and just encouragement along the way keep it up, it definitely helps a lot!
