The Good, Bad and Ugly of why I am stopping my Tour...

So, as you can tell after reading my post title the tour has ended, and I am already back in Pennsylvania. I ended up buying a same day flight home. As for the good, bad and ugly of why it had to end, well here it goes: the good - at least I made it to New Orleans; the bad - I had to quit mainly because of financial reasons and I hate when money plays a factor in... just about anything; the ugly - well I am starting to have a tooth ache due to a root canal capping that finally made its way fully off...  My favorite moment of the trip was listening to a street band play on Royal Street in the French Quarter. The woman that played the clarinet gave me serious goose-pimples! Don't worry you will all be able to hear her because I recorded her, however the recording was too long and file too big to fit on the blog to you will have to ask to see it in person if you want to hear her... My least favorite moment was waking up in the middle of the night on Monday and pulling out the rest of the filling on my tooth, and of course the pain wasn't awesome either... My most inspiring moment was when I was staying at the Mann's house and I realized that I will be able to do more bike tours well into my retirement years... My most regrettable moment was when I realized I wasn't going to get to see Austin or go over the 1000 mile mark, but I did make it 830 miles and that ain't bad! Thanks to everyone you read any of my posts and I'll keep you updated on when I am going to go out touring again!!!!
