Our time in Princeton is almost up. We leave to tomorrow for Philadelphia and will be there for a week, give or take. Our event last night was a great turnout.
There was a potluck dinner to start and we ended with some music for all to sing along. Mid-day in a park we met some Princeton Uni students who joined us at our event to play along as well. We met up with them later to join a weekly folk sing along with fifty people or so all singing, strumming banjos, mandos, fiddles, guitars, mouth harps and so on.
Big thanks to Bob Moore, Carol, Carter, Kate, Manisha, and all the other folks at Coalition for Peace Action (Princeton) who showed to give support, ask questions, and share the message of peace. And for all their organizing prowess.
Today we have spent most of our morning singing and gathering food for our ride tomorrow. It is a small 43 miles or so and you can track our progress at http://trackmytour.com/b4FB3#79788 .
Most important about life on a bike is staying healthy and eating food for medicine, lots of water, and fancy flower, herbal blends for teas. I am a tea newb, but Jacob and Rus are medicine men, no doubt. Also important that we take note of the change in season and prepare our bodies for that transition. Thanks to Hamsa and Moshe for that reminder! Tonight we'll cook down some nutritious greens and grains, eat them for dinner, toast with some dandelion tea, and pack the rest for our trip out of town.
