Day 29 - April 16: Rest Day

As we headed out of St. Francisville this morning to rejoin the route, we again met the bikers at a breakfast diner. After much discussion and hearing input on things to see in St. Francisville, we decided to not ride today, but to take a rest day and spend some time sightseeing. Besides which, we were beginning to feel a bit weary. Good choice!


We settled into this old B&B, and enjoyed a restful day, seeing some of the sights and relaxing.

Quaint old Bath (with bike!!)

Tomorrow we expect a long ride to the eastern border of Louisiana, spending the night in either Bogalusa, LA or Poplarville, Mississippi.

Yours on the Road,

Don and Penny

Hey Don and Auntie P,

I've really enjoyed following your adventure so far, it looks awesome and I'm now starting to think "when can I try that".

I hope the weather remains kind to you and that it doesn't put you off cycling for too long once you've finished!

God bless, Nephew Joe, Melissa and increasingly loud Isaac!

Your trip over the back roads reminds us that there are so many fascinating corners of the world that we miss as we hurtle down the interstates. I remember the trips our family used to take every summer from our home in Vicksburg, Mississippi, (see you're in my old stompin' grounds now) to visit relatives on the east coast. Every year we tried a slightly different route. What a great country.
Hugs...Carolyn
