Day 3: Charlottesville, VA

Daniel and I just spent the night at "Alexanders House" - a hostel in the center of town. Great place - free food and a good location. We stumbled upon it randomly, and luckily (after cycling 56 miles yesterday).

Today we plan on spending the day walking around Charlottesville - enjoying the historical sites it has to offer. Thomas Jefferson's house is near by, something we were told is a must see, and have already seen many creative, exciting points of the city.

Tonight we're staying with a CouchSurfer named Drew. We're meeting up with him in an hour or so.

The muscles are sore, but not too bad. Enjoying the warm Virginian air.

Gail Meeks - host mother (very motherly indeed! thank you thank you)



Freedom after Highway 60... Thank you Jesus.




Turns out Virginia is much prettier than expected.


First river crossing.



So this is something interesting - these little buggers are everywhere. Seriously. Millions. Millions. Millions. They live in the forested areas here in Virginia and provide a constant scarily loud dull while traveling through. At first we thought it was the wind howling through the trees, but nope, just some cicadas. 

Also, wear sunglasses. When cycling downhill connecting with one can hurt. First hand experience... in the face.
