Who we are:
We're on a pilgrimage of sorts, biking from Virginia, USA to Asunción, Paraguay for Mennonite World Conference in July 2009. As we journey, we hope to learn from and serve those we meet and to begin living in a community relevant to Christ's call.

* we hitched parts of these rides, thanks in a large part to kind folks with trucks..
** we bussed stretches of these sections. We and all of our gear do in fact fit in most busses we've encountered!
*** our solitary flight of the journey to Asunción. There actually aren't roads between Panama and Colombia... We had to get away from the airport somehow, though - and thus, the 5 miles. By far, the top speed of our trip was also today, at something about 500 mph. :-)
