Caught up on blogging, emails, etc. Ran some errands.
I didn't really have anyone to talk with today until Carlos (see photo) struck up a conversation at a coffee shop. He had seen my bike, and although it didn't have any of my baggage on it he recognized it as a touring bike and asked about my trip. He and a friend had biked from California to Virginia several years ago, after he graduated from college. It was nice to talk to another long-distance biker. 
Shortly after talking with Carlos I had a chance to get a picture of Leland, on his bicycle, and to talk with him briefly. I've often thought I was carrying too much stuff but WOW! What a load he carries! See photo. (He does landscaping work, and transports all the tools of his trade by bicycle.)
