How do you say Natchitoches? We settled on "nacho cheese" at our morning route meeting. As it turns out, the true pronunciation is closer to "nack-a-tish", though we did see some store names and bricks with "Nakatosh" printed on them. Perhaps that's an alternative or older pronunciation?
We left early from last night's hosts, as the school children needed their building back, so that meant that we had plenty of time for our short 53 mile day! There are a couple ways to get to Natchitoches, but we took the most direct (maybe future trips could route the more scenic way by the plantations, wink wink). We were warned in advance of some fantastic plantations along the way that we could stop at for tours and we even had one called ahead for us, but when it came down to it, I decided to skip the plantations. Why? Because of sushi in the amazingly quaint city of Natchitoches! I've been craving some sushi recently, so yesterday night I found a place with sushi in our next town and a small group (Hannah, Megan, and me) headed straight for town after our lunch stop for some delicious food!
We all met up at our host at 5 for another bike clinic today! This time, it was my group (Sugar Gliders represent!) that was in charge of preparing and running the bike clinic, though we were not alone in it at all as all of our B&B team was out there as helpers, obstacles, or even sea creatures in the bicycle riding course.
With a lot of excitement, including the start of the World Cup, today was yet another good day :)
