St. Francesville, LA

52 miles today, and 2,261 miles down. Wow, what a day! Rode over 2 bridges and ferried across the Mississippi river. The ferry guy said we were lucky because tomorrow the ferry will be closed for new construction for a bridge. Now if the ferry is down it is a 60 mile drive to Baton Rouge.

Joy and Bob, my sister and brother-in-law, arrived this afternoon for a visit from home. I had a pit stop at a local cemetery; interesting to see the Confederate graves.

The Spring has turned into summer here, although the temperature remains wonderful for riding.
