I spent most of my rest day in Savannah at the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum and Library. The exhibits and videos gave a good general sense of what it was like for US air crews based in England and flying missions over occupied Europe during WWII. For me the visit was particularly highlighted when the librarian helped me find a photo of my uncle and his B-17 crewmates with a list of the crew's 36 missions in 1944. When I get home, I will share details with my cousins. But first, tomorrow, we will pedal 82 miles to Brunswick, GA. The forecast is dry; the road is flat. Let's hope for safe riding during the last four days of the tour.

I'm glad that you encountered a helpful librarian -- I'm not surprised! ;) Pedal safely, and I look forward to seeing you soon! Love, Kate
