OHIO & KENTUCKY!!!!!

Hey Everyone!!! Right now I am in Louisville, KY in the middle of MY FIRST DAY OFF!!!!! It was nice to actually sleep in for a while. I did wake up at 8:30 and couldn't fall back to sleep but it was still 2 hours more sleep than I usually get. We went through Ohio a few days ago and it was amazing. I got a new seat for my bike and it made a world of difference on the hills. We had some amazing churches host us. So far we have not had to have a day of cooking. Every town has been so giving and supportive for the cause.

We had a build day in Portsmouth, OH where we took started with a cinder-block foundation and finished with all of the floor joists in place. This included filling in dirt around the inner part of the foundation. The site supervisor said that we helped complete three weeks of work in one day.

Kentucky has been AMAZING!!!! We rode 96 miles into Paris and found no Eiffel tower. We did find a Wal-Mart SUPERCENTER!!!! Sean and I rode to the Wal-Mart and did some laps in the parking lot to get to 100 miles for the day. I was able to get a new camera and no longer have to mooch off other peoples pictures. The coolest features of the camera is 1) it's waterproof and 2) IT'S GREEN!!! My mom liked that feature a lot when I told her. The next day we rode 87 miles to Louisville where today we have our first day off. I think I will walk around town for a while today but I mostly think I am just going to stay at our host.

Talk to you all later.
