Surrounded by Germans......
Mood:

a-ok
Have made it into eastern Germany. The ride across Holland along the bike paths thru the quiet little villages and on top of the dykes was perfect. Sometimes the thought of how far there is to go really hits hard and I miss everyone alot but then you just look at what you're rolling thru and just know you´ll never be this fortunate again. The weather has been holding for me, it' been cold but dry.Have'nt marked all the latest photos but a few are from a gasthaus in Andelst Holland where they gave me a real cheap room (but nice) and had a great blues band plying that nite. Last nite, got hooked up with the guy Marcel on the recombint bike and stayed at his friends house here in Quidlinberg. Should be in Poland in a few days. So far just good people and nice roads, Having fun and really enjoying this awesome journey. Forgive me for not answering email right away, it's tough getting to a computer. Take care everyone. Brian

Hey Brian, Glad to hear all is well. keep your spirits up (both kinds)they only get better with time. All your family and friends are with you the entire way, and Iam sure most wish they were with you.

Just remember:

Consider a man riding a bicycle. Whoever he is, we can say three things about him. We know he got on the bicycle and started to move. We know that at some point he will stop and get off. Most important of all, we know that if at any point between the beginning and the end of his journey he stops moving and does not get off the bicycle he will fall off it. That is a metaphor for the journey through life of any living thing, and I think of any society of living things.

Oh ya and also, All bicycles weigh fifty pounds.A thirty-pound bicycle needs a twenty-pound lock.A forty-pound bicycle needs a ten-pound lock.A fifty-pound bicycle doesn’t need a lock.

anyway good luck happy days and See Ya Later!!
