Last Day: Tom and I biked 8 miles to Fort Clinch and stood on Florida's most northern beach looking at Georgia. Mission accomplished, 623 miles. The bike wheel had made half a million revolutions, and left me with a thousand indelible memories. My reward from Tom for this achievement: we went out in the night to a railroad freight yard and sat in a box car for several hours until, with heavy groaning and reverberating metal, our train pulled slowly out of the yard.... Totally awe inspiring!

Thanks to you all for your blog comments that inspired me and made me laugh along the way. I wish Tom and Kate - who made this whole trip possible - lots of luck in a month when they deliver my first grandchild. And I thank you all for your generous pledges towards the DREAM Project, and the opportunity you have given to a small fraction of the world's poorest children.
