I skated about 36 miles into Monroe today. The pavement was rough, but I made it. Bob and I had a chance to hangout with our new friend, Jake. We met him through Couchsurfing, a hospitality exchange program. He was cool and treated us to some ice cream. His picture is below. We were also able to drum up an interview with NBC 10 in Monroe. I’ll post the video, when it becomes available. Keep dreaming big!

Distance Since last Update: 56 miles
Total Distance for Tour: approx. 1552 miles
LOCATION: Monroe, LA
STATUS: Preparing for interview with NBC 10 out of Monroe
Hi friend, we watch your progress each week and keep you in our prayers. Travel carefully and enjoy. Blessings on you.
I’m glad you two are watching! Good to hear I’ve got some longtime friends pull for me back home!
