re: Freestyle day in BarcelonaSandi Valois Hi Tina - yes, I knew about Patty Duke. I had no idea Helen Keller was from Alabama until I went to visit my ex in-laws!
re: Busy day of sightseeing!Tina s Loved the Helen Keller Photo's. I loved her reading her story and watching her movie. Did you know Patty Duke played helen keller.
re: Busy day of sightseeing!Sandi Valois Thanks Ken - it was fun! Did you check out my previous blog from my ride to Alaska?
re: Too tired, mixing my days up!Ken The pictures were fabulous and the trip looked great. I can see why you didnt want to come home. While Im not a biker in that sense, you could easily talk someone into the lifestyle with that kind of tour. Great job documenting it.
