		<title>Photos from Recent Weeks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since we&#8217;re hard at work on editing video and other things during our break, we&#8217;re going to simply give you some photos to enjoy instead of writing a long post this week! Most of these are from January in Louisiana and Texas.]]></description>

		<title>Permission Slips</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know this sounds obvious, but dropping your current life and embarking on an extended bike tour is no easy task.  People continuously marvel at Rachel and I with our adventures ahead and behind us, remarking &#8220;I wish I could do something like that!&#8221;  SO many people want to bike tour.  Why aren&#8217;t more people [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the Edge of a Blade</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week Wednesday, we arrived in Austin, TX after 9 days of straight riding from Gonzales, LA.  After a few days of relaxing and sleeping copious amounts at a friend&#8217;s in Houston, TX, we are finally starting to get feeling back in our brains and extremities.  While I don&#8217;t know that Jessica would agree with [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Quirky Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the ways we keep ourselves entertained while riding our bikes thousands of miles is noticing the quirky little events and things along the way.  I thought we&#8217;d share a few of them with you today! Starting near Orlando, FL, heading south, we followed a Hansel &#38; Gretel like path of green beans leading [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Big Easy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New Orleans, Louisiana has a reputation. Unless you live under a rock, you&#8217;ve probably heard something about the city. Since I was a small child, I heard about the amazing music, the wild nightlife, the debauchery during Mardi Gras (and the rest of the year too). Like most people, I&#8217;d heard how New Orleans was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tearin&#8217; Through the Deep South!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since spending Christmas in Gulf Shores, Alabama with Rachel&#8217;s family, we&#8217;ve now biked across Mississippi and are currently staying with Rachel&#8217;s cousins in Gonzales, Louisiana (which is about halfway between Baton Rouge and New Orleans).  It took us seven days to get here, in which we ran the whole gamut of paying for a camp [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roam Your Soul &#8211; Expanding Women&#8217;s Empowerment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been great to expand our readership over the past few months of riding.  We always expected this to happen, but it&#8217;s been a vital part of how we keep energized about the project.  One of the best relationships we&#8217;ve formed along these lines is with Christine Perigen.  She&#8217;s founded Roam Your Soul, an Online [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Discovery of Nice Sized Purportions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When we started this trip, we were either making friends or visiting friends on a very fast schedule.  Within the first week, we had visited my alma mater and some friends in Milwaukee, and within the first month, we had visited family friends, met really cool strangers who are now friends and it all kept [...]]]></description>

		<title>I bet you&#8217;ll think we&#8217;re crazy!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have to confess that I have a bit of writer&#8217;s block today.  The thing is that since Jessica last wrote, we haven&#8217;t done all that much.  At least not anything that is really worth sharing.  We stayed in Clearwater for about 5 days with Wendy, our Couchsurfer host from Day 1 (she moved from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not to sound dramatic or anything, but I&#8217;m pretty sure we just spent two weeks in Hell.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know I probably sound like an enormous wimp to cry on my website that riding through south Florida in November was Hell.  &#8220;South Florida?  The land of sunshine and fresh squeezed orange juice and senior citizens and key lime pie and delicious Cuban food&#8230;.is Hell?&#8221;  Lesson of the last two weeks: adjust your expectations [...]]]></description>
