Holy/holely road

Today started off good with a lot of continental breakfast waffles, and continued in that trend minus a flat and the discovery of broken spokes. 
We had a mix of road conditions from newly paved to the type that will eat your bike if your not carefull, but we did 50 miles before 3 and we even started late.  Right before lunch we found that my tire was going flat and found a small piece of wire in it.
It was decided that we must have seen over 1000 Baptist churches so far and we kind of wish we had a counter. 
When we got to Perry and Lep's they showed us around and I asked about some tools to fix Charlie's wobely back wheel.  Perry happens to have a trueing stand which once set up made me realize the problem was much worse, but we had extra spokes and in no time it was right as rain. 
They built their own house from salvaged wood and it is awesome.  As we road in another tourist road in, George, who just went and visited the big easy.  He had not had front bags on his bike, which can be quite had on it, so Perry hooked him up and we spent the evening riging the rack and the bags on the bike (nothing ever fits right).  We will be riding out with George tomorrow and will likely spend the next 2 days with him untill we diverge from the adventure cycling route.
