"No way I want to walk back up that hill." [David Wallace
at dinner]
"Pansies!" [Mark Bazerman]
Today some of us (Brian Holsenbeck, Mark Bazerman, and me) went to the Professional Football Hall of Fame in the morning, so we didn't get started pedalling until after 1pm. I apologize in advance for the San Francisco 49er focus of my Hall of Fame pictures, but this is my page...
I had a bad headache when I started pedalling, and the rough pavement in places made it worse. After I took something for it, however, the day started getting better. The hills were much more of a factor than they have been for weeks, but they were still managable today. The weather was hot, and also more humid than yesterday. We got photographed and interviewed by representatives of two newspapers. When we got to Lisbon, we were treated to really great hospitality by Earle, his family, and the other employees of the Steel Trolley Diner (pictures below).
