Crossing the Mighty Mississippi

Here we are in Greenville, MS. We are staying at the home of Ann Alexander, who provided us with a catfish dinner as well as a place to sleep. Greenville is very close to the east bank of the Mississippi river so we are barely into Mississippi.

Monty lost a spoke today and we don't have a way to fix it until we find a bike shop. The bike operated satisfactorily anyway, though. Just don't know for how long.

The highlight of the day was crossing the Mississippi. They have a new, beautiful  bridge, and the river is always a highlight to see. Monty and Dave were able to stop on the bridge for pictures, but I couldn't do so with the truck. So I'll have to get copies from them. Of course we stopped for pictures at the "Welcome to Mississippi" sign.

We met with the pastor of our host church when we first got into town, and will attend services tomorrow. Monty and Dave did a cleaning job on the bikes. Makes me feel guilty that the truck needs cleaning too. Soon.

Monday we'll move on Winona, MS. One more week and we'll be looking at the finish line (well, almost).

So for now, thats about it. God bless.
