Well, those two months sure did fly by! Actually, I'd like to say the last 70 days flew by, as today is the big day Jonas crosses the finish line in Anchorage, Alaska, after biking all the way from Austin! I spent the summer debating whether to go to Alaska. In fact, I drove everyone crazy with my indecisiveness! At first, Jonas told me not to come, because he would be too tired to really enjoy Anchorage after all the biking.
