day 40: Mr and Mrs Barnum are heros and amazing

So, a lot has happened, and I apologize for not always keeping yinz 100% up to date with everything that goes on.  Most if that comes from being so exhausted at the end of the day that I don't even care to write the blog.  But I do it anyway.  I also enco utter age you to read Eriks blog too.  It's super dense and usually has the word of the day hidden in the post somewhere, so you could actually learn something.

But Erik and I are still paddling together in his canoe.  We tied off my kayak and are towing that along.  We make better time and can make more informed decisions, plus we crack jokes all day and it helps the time go by.

So now that you have that.  We ate at mile 935 right now in paducah ky.  Awsome town.  Tons of art, bars, great food, and great people.  Last night a good new friend let us stay at her place.  I got a proper shower, food, and a couch to sleep on... it's amazing how we can lose touch with the world sometimes and forget to a appreciate simple things like that.

But ya had a grrrrreat time last night.  Bar hopping in this town is too easy.  I got to play with two local bands with my harmonica,  and obviously people loved it.

Today we chilled out, explored the island, which has a secret landing strip in the middle.  That also explains why we got kicked off the island for "national security issues".  Whatever,  we got a good spot under an old abandoned factory.

Mr and Mrs Barnum, wow.  They are Eriks parents and drove from cincinnati to help Erik and I resupply.   They got us food and clothes, and even bought dinner.  They have been a great part of this trip and their generosity is out of this world.  Good company is always a plus as well.

But I'm done, leaving tomorrow, 50 more miles on the ohio then it's time for the Mississippi.  I'm having a great time and I hope I don't get depressed when this is over.  I guess I'll just try and enjoy every minute of every day.

Also this is awsome, Erik got an interview on coin desk.com.  it's basically the Forbes of Internet currency.  Great stuff, share it with your friends
