Alabama to Mississippi

October 10th,
Day 8 of our trip is over!
Sorry, all but we were not able to find Internet anywhere yesterday so we couldn't blog!

well yesterday was a very hard day, i was only able to do 69 miles from Eutaw to Meridian Mississippi. I wanted to do 127 miles but a very strong head wind limited me to 69. Well today I woke up with determined to make it to the border of Mississippi and Louisiana, it was hard. After mile 100 I was getting tired, I put my head down and considered stopping. Then i looked up and there was a hawk directly above me flying slow in the same direction I was going. I took as a sign and pushed my left pedal a little harder, then the right, then the left again, then just like that I was again going about 17 miles an hour. The hawk had picked up speed too and it followed me for about 5 minutes, then it took off. I feel the hawk gave me wings today because after that I was able to make it to Louisiana!! Yes after 138 miles we are here tired and hungry but happy that we met our goal for the day. Tomorrow should be an easy day for me I do not think I have to go more than 90 miles to get to our next point.
stay tuned,
Asscary
