Day 8 - Tallahassee, FL

We've arrived in Tallahassee!

With consensus of the group, we took a detour on the way into town for some frozen yogurt. One of the things that happens on these trips is called "donation magic" (DM), when random people and businesses supply our group with free food, supplies, and service. Every one of these helps us Dave money and give more to affordable housing. In this vein, some thanks must go out to the folks at Nuberri for free froyo, to Panera Bread that gave us a large box of their excess bread for us to eat on our trip, and finally to the wonderful couple that drive our 20 lb box of Panera to the host site.



Although we got slightly lost and had to climb a couple massive hills on our way to tonight's host, the froyo was definitely worth it! We are staying tonight and tomorrow night at the Westley Foundation house, who were also kind enough to provide us with a wonderful dinner! Thanks guys!

An ode to Tallahassee:

Oh Tallahassee
your hills so high
Froyo so delicious
Colleen really did cry.

52 miles we rode
To reach your one way streets
Trying not to think
Of the pain upon our seats.

You've welcomed us in
With free yogurt, smoothies, and bread
And gave us a comfortable place
To lay our heads.

Our new friends from FSU
Made sure that we were all set.
With food, showers, and sleep
We are ready for all the rest!
