Hello from Maryland!
Today I took two ferries to get across the Chesapeake, stopping for a layover in Tangier, VA. Tangier is a little island made of mostly crab fisherman and their families. I had my first soft-shell crabs ever, and they were pretty good.
I'm going to ride to Ocean City tomorrow. MY LAST DAY OF RIDING. It's going to be about 60 miles, so I'm pretty excited, as thats not a long day either.
Summary of the past few days:
August 11th - Mineral, VA to Tappahannock, VA - 80 miles
August 12th - Tappahannock, VA to Reedville, VA - 40 miles.
August 13th - Reedville, VA to Crisfield, MD - 3 hours of riding on a boat.
Both days on the bike were tiring. Nothing exciting happened once I left Ashland. Today was good, nice and relaxing, but I'm still tired.
Not-so-fun-fact-of-yesterday: I spent about $40 on food because once I got to Reedville, I found that there were no grocery stores in town, and I was stuck eating at restaurants. Sucks.

Congratulations! "Only" 60 miles to ride! Wonder how long it will take your body to adjust to the fact it doesn't have to climb back on the bike for another day of riding, sleeping in a tent,and eating pasta.
