My birthday was cool and all but...

TWENTY FIVE MILES TO MEXICOOOOOOOO!!!!!
That's right. We're almost done. I suppose this is the definition of bittersweet.
Thank you to everyone who left me birthday messages yesterday!
I forgot how much I love Jesse's Mickey Mouse b-day song until it reached my ears first thing in the morning. My big sister is hilarious. AND a total baller because she talked the Mayor of Louisville into giving the Committee for Public Art tons of money for making the city of my birth a better place to live. I'm so proud. I know that has nothing to do with riding from Canada to Mexico, but I spent a large part of my mental energy on my bike yesterday thinking good thoughts for her to achieve this and I'd like to think it helped, in a cosmic sense.

As far as bike riding goes... Here is a video of where our skillz are at this point in our trip (just imagine a SoCal landscape instead of cold NYC):

I think Tina is currently covering all of the important points of the trip since my last post whilst sitting next to me in this silly San Diego caffe... so I'm just gonna say that I plan on listing the top 5 scariest things that have happened on this trip once we finish this thing... I think the parental units checking this here blog will be able to handle it in retrospect.

I currently seem to overwhelmed by being as close as we are to clearly be able to log my thoughts/feelings at the moment... So stay tuned for my final reflection posts and descriptions of the celebration going down in Huntington Beach this weekend!!!

I cannot begin to espresso my heartfelt congratulations for your big journey of accomplishment. You two really can cruise when you dump the excess baggage (better than cowsh*t!)!

Congrats again, Mandy. So well done. We just got back in and got your voice mail that you had made it to Mexico and were getting on an Amtrak to Huntington Beach. Needless to say, yo Mama and I are happy and proud.

Love, Joe

What are the top 5 scariest things that happened, Mandy? I'm still waiting. This parental unit can take it with minimal crying.
