Bike for Immigration Justice
Last Day!!! Holy Guacamole!! | June 30, 2010
Welp, about to hit the road for one last day of biking…weeee! To be honest I am quite excited to get there. This will be my 61st day of riding and I started feeling ready-to-be-there about 3 days ago. Weather reports are calling for scattered storms throughout the area, some funnel clouds, rates of one inch of rain per hour, and cloud to ground lightening. Perfection!
Here are some things I’m going to do my first few days in New Orleans:
sleep for 20 hours
go to a yoga class
watch mooovies
color with my new 64 pack of crayons
go to some BP protests/learn more about the oil spill situation
After we finish our very-athletic protein shakes we’ll be leaving Alva’s in Gulfport, Mississippi. 70-some miles later we’ll be there!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?! I feel like a super woman!!
More blogs to come…

You rocked it superwoman!!!
I can’t believe your legs and your arms moved all that asphalt behind you. Freaking amazing! You can bike anywhere!!!!! Enjoy ALL the FOOD you get to get to eat when you are stationary-ish in NOLA!
(and feel free to ignore the rambly message I just left on your voicemail, I’m just so excited for you!!)
much love,
Becca

I live in New Orleans. Do you need a place to stay, actually a room? I can also put you in contact with people protesting BP, etc. e-mail me or phone me at 504-453-4744. Thanks for your ride for immigration reform. I am a Catholic priest and live with another priest in a town house with guest rooms. Peace, fr. Louie

I’m glad that you feel like a super woman because indeed you are. Thanks for sharing your journey with us and for keeping your sparkle all the way to NOLA. BTW, a hundred years ago I was in NOLA and took a cooking class at Jackson Brewery. In those days one did not actually cook but sit and watch an ex-football player cook and keep us laughing. He also gave me great recommendations for non-tourist restaurants. Have a wonderful rest in that poor battered town.
Love,
Kate

What you did was amazing, Sheila! Congrats on making it the whole way! Just think of all the lives you touched on your journey! Even if all of your experiences have not been positive, you have certainly made a mark on the world. I have really enjoyed all your posts. Be really proud of yourself and enjoy some well deserved rest. Way to go!
