The trip started around the corner from my friend Lena’s squat, at the public library. It was one of the few times in Catalunya I sensed animosity for speaking in Castellano (regular Spanish)
One of the best things in the world: a hand-written letter. Send me something in the mail! A letter, a postcard, a piece of art, some art supplies, stickers, patches, care packages, useful gear - anything you'd care to send! Lightweight or give-away items only, please; my bike and I still have to carry everything!
Thanks a million, and I promise to reply in kind!

Ross Merrill: Hey Charlie, it's Ross. You were the first kid I met in school when I moved to Columbus from Cottage Grove in 5th grade. Just thought I'd let you know that between reading your inspiring stories and the fact that my girlfriend is driving me batshit crazy, I'm growing more and more motivated to take a little bike ride of my own. Cheers.
Jill: Sending Capers your way and wishing you many joyful miles together.
Mom: Reaching Egypt by bicycle! Another milestone... keep on keepin' on darlin' (?country stone)
Laure: Très heureuse de pouvoir lire tes récits! Merveilleuse aventure!
Bises.
