The hell with being a tourist!

I.m an addict, a cycling addict. I have been doing the "real" tourist thing the last two weeks, which means I haven.t been riding. So this addict got his fix, and a little sore. I found an Indian Village on TT about 50k away, so I headed there. I don.t know what the hell it was, but it looked like an old wild west town. Did they import the Indians when we kicked them off the reservation in the 1700.s? There wasn.t a casino here, so I guess they didn.t! Since it was Sunday they weren.t open, not like I would have paid to go anyway... So I just used their WC and headed back to Hamburg, into a headwind. There aren.t any hills in northern Germany, but the breeze from the North Sea can be felt this far inland. So I got a good workout and finished up with 110k. There is one lake almost in the center of Hamburg, and it.s really cool, but EVERYONE was out this morning, and even more this afternoon when I returned. They even had one lane of the road around the lake closed for roller bladers. I doubt they do that every sunny Sunday, but they must have had some reason today. It.s great seeing so many people out and about, but I.m glad Atlanta has more than one place for everyone to go. Tomorrow I head back to my Euro home in Copenhagen, then Thursday back to the good ole USA! I can.t wait to see my cats, I miss´em! I will upload photos that got dumped in the next day or so, then probably do a final blog when I get back to the States. Until then, tschuss!

I think we're in Kansas again Toto......

I blogged about getting a hug tonight from a nice, athletic young man traveling alone...he doesn't know how good it felt to be a 'stand in' for the son I'm missing. xoxo, Mom

It's hard to believe you are pointing your bicycle towards home already! Safe journeys back to Copenhagen and on back to Atlanta!
Hugs,
