Bike pick up and Orientation

Today I picked up Ben at the bike shop. The shop is one busy place with all the bike rentals. People are here for the Jazz Festival. I am glad to be getting out of town tomorrow. The streets are crazy here with cars zipping around. At orientation this afternoon I finally got to meet all the ladies on the tour. There will be 30 of us, plus two guides. This time we have an international group; one from Australia, one from Scotland and two from the Netherlands. The US gals come from Ohio, Florida, Vermont, Texas, New York, Maryland, Minnesota,Washington, Oregon, Wisconsin, South Carolina, New Mexico, Hawaii, Connecticut, Idaho, and six from California.
