More days. I'm losing track

Something interesting happens every day on this trip.  Here are a few examples: (1) Lois (one of our leaders) got attacked by a dog, had to get facial reconstructive surgery, and is staying in somebody's house for the next week or so until she's allowed out of bed.  Most recently I heard she reorganized the family's silverware drawers.  We miss her.  B&B isn't the same without our full family.

(2) Betty had a breakdown.  Betty is our van.  She broke down mid-uphill, and Gabe had to hold the break for over an hour until AAA came because the emergency break didn't work.  We rented a Uhaul instead.

(3) Brian had to go home because his cousin is really sick.  See (1)'s last two sentences, but replace "her" with "him."

(4) Jackie came back!!  HUZZAH

Lois here: Just to clarify- Yes, I was bitten on the face by a dog.  I did not get reconstructive surgery just laceration repair to my nose and lip.  Heh, I'm not on bed rest.  I'm not biking, mind you.  I need to keep my face out of the sun so I’ll be wearing floppy hats and sun block for the next 2 years.  I’ll have to be careful as I transition back into biking.  I have been relaxing and getting to know Cinci, working on uploading photos and journals, and doing host work as well.  I admit to the silverware drawer.
