Well it has certainly been a while, and can I just say for the record that no one is more disappointed that this blog was never finished than I am. This definitely stopped being a priority, and I do regret that.
But onward and upward! I have started a new blog over at Wordpress: http://nikmariegreen.wordpress.com/. If any of you are interested in checking it out you should, and you should subscribe to it! Your life will be better if you do! Okay maybe not, but mine will :-) (wow there were too many exclamation points in this paragraph!).
The goal of the new blog? To get me to write consistently. Since I do have a BA in writing I decided to try an put it to good use, and blogging is a low pressure environment to get started. I am also toying with the idea of transferring some of the posts (the ones I wrote at least) from this blog over to my new one, and then continuing on to try and finish the story line of the bike trip. I am making no guarantees. It is just an idea at this point, but I have made a list of all of the posts that I would need to write in order to fulfill this. So that is progress right?
So come check out the new blog. I hope everything is going well for you guys, and thanks for being great readers during the trip. I know it meant a lot to both Ivan and I.
