Change of Plans

So....Joe and I attempted our adventure by bicycle....annnnd almost died on a road we thought was going to be safe. After a lot of thought and swallowing our pride, we decided it was foolish to go on this adventure in an unsafe way. We realized that by riding a bike on a road, we are trusting every single person in a car that passes us to be courteous of us riding.... It sounds like a fairy tale. And it was. It is quite disappointing since we did so much preparing and packing and working toward having the right gear. The physical challenge would have been great...but it really is not worth our lives to ride our bikes. So we will be doing the same kind of travel by car. We are still going to organic farms and will honestly have much more time to stay at the farms themselves  and learn...we will still be trying to bike here and there and go on hikes and such. But now, we'll be able to bring a book with us...or an extra tube of tooth paste! Ya...so... I feel good about this :)
