Wow. We only have 10 days left. Is that possible? How did the time fly by so quickly? How are we going to bike 805 miles in so little time?
These are some of the questions floating through my mind this morning, on our 10th (*gasp) teaching day. We are in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, staying at a warm showers just east of town. Last night, we slept in a cabin that Bo, our host, built himself! It doesn’t have running water or electricity (yet!) but it does have a wrap-around porch, a loft, and an incredible view of the lush forest surrounding it. Last night, we had the immense pleasure of hearing Anna’s life story during her ‘Spotlight.’ Over the course of the summer, we are each telling our story followed by time for questions. It’s special to hear about everyone’s upbringing, passions, and worldview.

Readying up for our ride back to the house
After a warm night of rest, Bo picked us up on the RTV and trailer hitch, and Sean drove us back to Bo’s house to cook breakfast. A hot breakfast of scrambled eggs fueled us for a morning of teaching at the Hardin Country Public Library. Today, we each taught two 30 minute workshops. The students were great! They definitely got more comfortable and rambunctious as the morning progressed (as per usual), but asked insightful questions and seemed to enjoy the lessons.
We enjoyed lunch at a German restaurant with more types of Schnitzel than I knew existed and then explored the city. Most of the team went to check out the Abraham Lincoln museum while Sean and I went shopping for groceries. We cooked four quiches and a dinner of quinoa salad with chicken. Tomorrow, we are biking to Danville, Kentucky!
