| We've finally settled in, if you can really settle in at Bike Week. Ophie and I picked up our permit at City Hall, scouted out the best escape routes around the city, and figured out where we are going to set up the booth for the remainder of the week. What an amazing place. The crowds haven't even started yet, and we still can't get around without running into thousands of bikes -- choppers, harleys, hondas, trikes -- everything you can image can be seen on the streets of Daytona Beach. As was the case the day we arrived, everyone has been really nice. Brian, the day manager at the Red Carpet is watching out for us and our property. In fact all of our neighbors are looking out for each other. Today was a truly beautiful day, hovering in the low 80s with light winds. I took the day to make last minute arrangements, including brochure printing, meeting the businesses where we will be setting up shop this week, etc. We are looking to have a great time talking about work of the Scleroderma Foundation and the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Julia Lynn would be proud! Anyway, check out the great people we met yesterday and things we saw. I'm trying something new today -- digital video. If it works, we'll post some more tomorrow. |
