there’s no place like home

Howdy.  I’ve been putting this off for a while now.  I finished my trip and am now back home.  I’ve sat down in front of the computer a few times to write this put I just wasn’t able to.  I think that writing the final blog entry makes the trip done in a way that it wasn’t before.  But no avoiding it any longer, I’m home.  The finish line was incredible, Jess was there to congratulate me, everyone was insanely excited, and I was able to finally give away my damn helmet.  We stayed in Cape Town for almost a week.  We visited wine country (not terribly exciting if you don’t drink, but beautiful nonetheless), we went to the Cape of Good Hope, we took the cable car up Table Mountain, and went on a fake safari (it was kinda safari light, there were wild animals, but the area was all fenced in and they knew exactly how many animals there were).  Then it was onto a plane to get back home.  It’s good to be home (god I’ve missed bagels and pizza).  Today I went on a bike ride the way god intended (stupid haircut, no helmet, no brakes, lots of traffic).  It felt awesome, even if I couldn’t remember how to ride a fixie for a little bit.  I’ve been making some calls, sorry if I haven’t gotten to ya yet, you’re next on the list, I swear.  I can’t stop playing on the computer and watching crap on tv, for some reason I can’t watch the first few episodes of the final season of Lost (if anybody knows an executive at ABC please do me a favor and punch them in the nose as hard as you can).  I wrote a thing for the TDA website that I’ll include here for a final wrap up. I’ll also figure out how to add pictures.  Thanks very much for following along on my journey.

love
