We are leaving tomorrow morning! Spent the day at REI talking to the interpreter to get the inside scoop on gear. We are ready to roll. Daniela got a ride with a body builder/specialist today to fix the knee. I (jocelyn) got a wink as they drove away.
All that's left is Daniela's new driver's license PLUS getting rid of an unfortunate butt cyst PLUS icing a knee PLUS saying goodbye to loved ones PLUS packing the panniers PLUS finding a place to sleep tomorrow PLUS practicing our mace skillz PLUS pedaling technique PLUS learning how to ride the bikes.
This trip is
Daniela
Jocelyn
Brahm
and
The Sheriff
A love square. And
four panniers
a tent
2 sleeping bags
one heavy jar of PB (daniela's carrying it)
one sharp knife,

Sun screen (expired, 2007)
Dr. Bronners
Olive oil in a travel sized shampoo bottle
and thats all.

We wish we could take Helios and Ponceau but we cant.
This section is for farewells:

We love you,
We know you may think we are trying to end leprosy and find ourselves in the great unknown
but we are really trying to get away from Lady Ga Ga

This summer,I am biking with my friend Jocelyn from Christiansburg, VA to San Francisco, CA. During our 4,000 mile, 3 month journey, we will be raising support and hopefully many financial pledges for The Kevin Rohan Memorial Eco Foundation in Kathmandu, Nepal. This sustainable eco-village provides a healing place in society for lepers who have been traditionally ostracized. Plz send tax deductible donations: BARD COLLEGE/Leprosy Relief, TLS/Box 5000, Annandale, NY 12504 or BARD/TLS link below
