Message | Dear Steve and Julia, I'm not sure where the messages I've been sending have been going ... hopefully you haven't gotten 3 identical messages. Anyway, here goes. Congratulations on the 1000 km mark! You'll be able to enter the Ironman Contest when you finish this trip! Mark and I, and the students at school, are thoroughly enjoying " riding alongside" via the internet and your great blog site! The kids are amazed at what you are doing , Parisa exclaimed in her thick Scottish brogue the other day as we were viewing Steve's blog about Scotland, "I know that castle! My Mum and Dad have taken me there!" and I'm sure she has as many of the Scottish castles are near her village. As well, several students squealed with delight when they saw the pictures of Paris and the Eiffel Tower, "Oooooh I've been there before!" One student even said, "I know that building, it's the Louvre, my Dad made us all go there!" With our children, it is not surprising they have been to these places as they come from all corners of the globe! I'm glad you have been safe and eating well (pizza, crepes, waffles, baguettes, Mmmmm ) Continue to be healthy, safe, and savour every moment! The pictures are wonderful, and the comments interesting ... there may be some gaps to fill in when you're back home! We miss you at school, but am happy you are having such a wonderful adventure! Keep peddling! Love, Rebecca and Mark P.S. Steve - Mark started school "GRUELLING"! |
