Spring Break was the second week in March. I went to Arizona for an alternative break with six other KU students. We spent the week living and working with Ida, a 82 year old Navajo woman. We learned about her family and their history. We worked on small projects including building a new fence around her garden, leveling the road leading to her home, and herding sheep every day.
42 days until we begin our trip from Virginia Beach, Virginia! I'll be driving from St. Louis to Virginia Beach two days after school ends, on May 17th with Sarah Graham, a friend from high school who is also doing the Central Route. This semester has gone by really fast and it's just now starting to feel like spring. Training this winter consisted mostly of running and biking at the KU rec. center. Now that the weather is nice I've been biking to school and riding with friends around Lawrence.
Fundraising has been successful, my friends and family have been generous, but I still have about $1,000 to raise. I'm also working on finding the gear I'm going to need for this summer at local bike shops and on the internet. Any suggestion or advice would be helpful.
:D bike rides and high fives
