Muchas gracias!!!

My flight leaves from Orlando in less than 2 days!!

Just wanted to thank everyone who has donated or otherwise supported me on this grand adventure. It means more to me than I can say to have the support of family, friends, former teachers, former neighbors, some people I haven't seen in years, and some people I've never met!

Thanks so much to Rachelle Van Hollebeke, Grandma Barrow, Sarah, Steven & Andrea, Thrilla, Grandma Vi, Debra & Bret, Lucretia, Mrs. Mundy, Mr. Wurster, Mr. Abi-Nader, Dr. Rodseth, Mom, Aunt Julie, Nikki, Avocado, Jessica, Nicole, Drooble, and Grandma & Grandpa Hill. And many thanks to all my customers of The Bike & Build Bakery: Lynn, Stanley, Thomas, Amanda, Chelsea, Gregory, Angelo, Andrei, Gabe, Sara, Tracey, Sarah, Mom, Laurin, Shannon, Lauren, Shelly, and Taylor; to Lynn and Sara for letting me bank on their idea :-), and to Chain Reaction for all the discounts and helpful advice!

Some more work on my affordable housing presentation, deciding what songs to load onto my mp3 player, cramming everything (which is now at least neatly in piles) into my pack, writing down all the addresses I have for people I'm going to bombard with postcards, buying stamps, and I think I will be somewhat close to ready to go. It is 92 degrees F outside with a relative humidity of 43% (ok, I don't actually know what that translates to except that it is really really suffocating and hot). Which means I will have to get up super-early tomorrow to beat the heat for a quick run or bike ride.

Also, just started looking through everyone's pictures from Collegiate Challenge. I'll leave you with this one 'cause I thought it was pretty cool:
