"The End"

Tour de Vida, the Bike tour has officially come to an end. It is too soon to really understand all my emotions right now. I can't believe I am back in the Boat, over six weeks after I left for this adventure. I had ups and downs like it is in life, I pushed through the hard days and with a bit of luck I made it!! Of course I had some pretty scary situations riding on busy narrow roads in Mexico. I feel like that was the toughest part, and of course the dogs. Just on my last day I got chased again. Well, I made it safe through all the challenges on this trip. I feel like it was an amazing experience and ultimately changed me a bit. I learned a lot of different things on this trip. I am sure I will use a lot of the skills I learned in the future. I hope I was able to relay the message of "Tour de Vida" to a lot of people. More importantly, I hope I got people to think about the issues this society faces. Cancer is just on of our problems, but it shows us that something is definitely wrong. I have said it before I say it one more time. Every decision we make we need to think of our grand children.

I also want to thank everybody who supported me in any way on this trip. With shelter, friendship, donations, food, encouragement, technical support and in many other forms. Thank you so much. There are few people who helped me a lot, and I couldn't have done this trip without them. They know who they are, and I owe these people a lot. I am very grateful for their help. Thanks so much guys!!!!

Thanks for following my progress during my Tour de Vida. Good bye everybody!!
