DAYS 24-26: CHARLESTON - SAVANNAH
We have just gotten word that support is coming. Our old friends from Philadelphia are to meet us in Savannah and ride down into Florida to help get out the vote. It will be nice to see familiar faces (for me at least) again and at the same time, I can't wait to get to Savannah, GA. Charleston and Savannah are considered sister towns of sorts, and strangely enough, the locals here swear by the superiority of their Georgian neighbor.
Charleston, by the way, is a beautiful, vibrant town and it's a little sad to leave it behind, especially as we mistakenly take a huge series of concrete overpasses to get out of the city. Nevertheless, we manage to fix up Raph's bike (remember the broken rear rack) and head along the coast into Georgia.
Allow me to describe our next couple of days like this: we had 100 miles to cover in three days and we had been averaging over 60 prior. Needless to say, we took our time, enjoying the warm breeze and exploring little points on the map like Beaufort, SC. Incidentally, we made it into the Beaufort Gazette and ended up spending the night at Jason's house, our reporter.
