This is Nora, bringing you morning blogging from our last morning in the great outdoors. We are all sad, says lizbrite. No we’re not! Says Shelby. We’re at Susquehanna State Park, hovering on the edge of Delaware on our way to Philadelphia and our last meeting.

Bugs seem to be our theme today. Mel is tired of bugs crawling her feet, and our breakfast has already been inturrupted several times by various species of bug. During the thunderstrom last night in our tents, the bugs decided to take shelter in our teents with us.
Speaking of thunderstorms, one of the reasons we haven’t written in a few days is that riding into Baltimore was a near death experience. We were late getting into the city because of spills and flats, and as we were riding into Baltimore city limits the threatening clouds opened up and suddenly we were riding through a deluge. It was the first time that any of us had ever biked upstream.

As we were riding through the city, sopping wet, a person on the sidewalk yelled out, hey, are you wanderlust? Once again, our fame preceded us.

We’ve been highly negligent in posting about wanderlust, and we have reflections about our meetings in chapel hill, washington dc, and baltimore, as well as stories from some crazy adventurous days of riding. Hopefully when we get to Philly we ‘ll have some storytelling time.

We had a shorter day of riding than planned yesterday because we had trouble tearing ourselves away from Sugar, Baltimore’s favorite feminist sex store. It’s the only place in town that has adult sex education classes and also provides information and resources about sexuality in a safe and non judgmental environment. If you’re in Baltimore or DC, you should definitely check it out – sugartheshop.com
