So, I decided I needed a vacation of sorts, not to mention a change of scenery. I've missed Southern Maryland too much, so I biked to Charles County. (Yes, I am so important that I have an entire county named after me in my home state.) Specifically the town of Waldorf.

Let me tell you, that was no easy feat. It was almost all uphill for 36 miles. And before I even got to the hills, I had to navigate a plethora of streets through Washington D.C. More than once, I was tempted to go home. But after 5 and 1/2 hours, I finally made it!

I rested at the local library, and had Pupusa with yellow rice for lunch as fuel for the journey back at Simply Good Salvadoran. (The owner complimented my Spanish.) I loved eating as the sun shone on me. I wish I could have shared it with Sarah.

I made it back to D.C by 7 p.m yesterday. One serious bad thing happened though. But I don't want to burden you all with it until tomorrow, when business is done. Let's think about the happy things until then.

In all, I biked at least 64 miles. That beats my previous record of 44 miles by 20. Legs are a little bit sore, but other than that, I'm fine!
