Day 16 - Long Beach

Yes, we're in Long Beach, not Biloxi, but we did ride through there on our way! Long Beach is the next city west of Biloxi, so while we were rained on and the traffic was very busy, we had a great time riding in and also stopping in Biloxi along the way.

Excitement from the day:
First off is the donated lunch from Sonic. One of their locations along our ride came through in fine form and donated as much as we could eat! Lunch was greasy, fatty, and unhealthy, but it tasted just sooo good! I got some beads (from a tree) and we stopped at Cafe Beignet in Biloxi for a quick coffee pick-me-up but we missed out on the beignets. I must get some in Nola!

Our host for the night has given us free rein of their church community space and eight showers!!! While it may seem silly to be excited about showers, having that many sure makes things go quicker and much easier! We've had hose showers, cold showers, and showers with very low water pressure, so every time that there is an ample amount of hot water and available showers, there is reason for celebration.

Tonight was also the first night of dinner crew making dinner. I give them some serious credit for an awesome meal cooked up, including mac & cheese, soup, and crawfish! Thanks crew!

When will this rain stop? I do love riding in the rain (for some reason), but it will be nice to be dry soon. :)
