Update from Coudersport, PA!

Wow! Okay, so I don't want to hog the communal computer, so this will be a quick update. The trip so far in bullets:

- Completed 508 of 3,863 miles; rode through RI, CT, NY, and now in PA
- Painted a near-completed duplex with Habitat Providence with a cordial Dutchman named Hermann
- East Coast mountains seem much larger from a bicycle seat... and road kill is much smellier
- People are willing to give you free ice cream if you ask them (and explain what you're doing)
- It is possible to feel comfortable with 29 other people in the span of a few days.
- Riding in the rain makes time pass more quickly.
- Chores are more readily completed when turned into dance parties (you know, the cleaning kind).
- Meeting people from all sorts of backgrounds will never grow old.
- I am continually learning about myself and my own abilities.

Those are the most important for now, but I'll definitely try to post more later! Unfortunately, I can't upload any photos at the moment, but hopefully will in the future...

If the Bike and Build application is working correctly, you should be able to see photos of me on my profile here. (click the camera... I don't know if it's working yet)

70 miles tomorrow to Warren, PA!!! It's definitely time to get ready for tomorrow and get some sleep!
