Rose garden in Duluth
A chalking for Calves
A chalking for curls
The ride into Sandstone was primarily on bike paths and AWESOME! Finally a chance to ride 2 abreast and not have to worry about cars. Kelsey and I decided to spend the day together and spend some time thinking about Paige and working on chalkings for her. We also talked a lot about family and our relationships. She likes to dig deep...
Later in the day we picked up Liz and spent the 8 hours ahead of us talking about nonsense, stopping for pop, trying to pet cats, and picking out our outfits for Llama Proma on Aug 1st. This ride was awesome...i love these girls.
Lets talk about Llama Proma: Micheal and Liz planned this whole elaborate prom for us. The guys and Kels had to pick out prom dates out of a hat and in the following days have to come up with creative ways to ask the ladies.
The ride into Duluth I was sweeping with Josh. It was nothing short of amazing. We gave the riders a challenge to capture amazing photos with locals. I also casually mentioned that chalkings for sweep would be appreciated. We were in for a BIG surprise! A couple miles into the ride there was a love poem for me, "Angela P. my queen to be..." and arrows pointed to a gift. 7 miles later there is a chalking to "curls" and "calves." I've been wearing my hair curly for this trip and Josh has the sickest calves next to Lance. Every 7 miles following we received a chalking from "dressy" & "mofaux"...we finally figured out it was Abby, who always wears new dresses, and Kelsey, who has a mofohaux. Ha. Captured in the photos above are the wonderful messages and illustrations they left for us. At some point we caught up with Denis and Nolan chalking a message for me but they got spooked and sped away leaving an empty circle where a new gift was supposed to be... I've got my suspicions about the 2 of them but they might just be trying to throw off all of the girls. There are only a couple more days for them to ask us... Kyle Lee wrote a sermon to Heather tonight and gave her a single white rose. That's pretty good!
After an awesome lunch with donated nectarines, we carried on and took a 7 mile detour into a dead end. We came across chalk pointing out amazing clouds with a B&B arrow...we were busy looking at the clouds and missed the directional arrow. Whoops. Once we hauled our butts back we caught up with a group cliff jumping into the St Louis river. Pretty awesome! We finally got moving once again and then ran into Kira and Kelly suspiciously standing outside a supermarket cleaning their faces with a roll of paper towels...
After dinner, the group displayed their local pictures with us. Leisl won herself one slow dance with us by getting herself and her bike tossed into a garbage truck. Kelly and Kira also won by taking a picture with Tom. Kira posed as a bloody vampire with jelly covering her mouth and arms and Tom using a string of garlic to fend her off.
We are staying at a Temple in Duluth and it has been really wonderful. Our host, Gary let us have a Q & A with him about Judaism and brought us into the sanctuary where he took out the Torah.
Our day off was a relaxing rainy one. We had Thai for lunch which was nice to get a little spice into our lives again. I also decided to put a hoop in my nose...
