Meeting inspiring cyclists Nasim Yousefi and Jafar Edrisi
Internet access has been limited the past few days, so I’ll try to cram in as much as possible today.
It’s now Day 11 of our ride. It’s been raining on and off for the last 4-5 day, and so I’d had to keep my rain gear with me all the time. Two highlight of the past few days was crossing the Astoria-Megler bridge, and meeting Nasim and Jafar on the road in Oregon. This is the Iranian couple featured in the BBC for biking around the world for peace and environmental conservation.
And people thought we were crazy for biking from Vancouver to Mexico! These two have covered many European countries, Canada, the US and are planning to go through Korea, China and Japan in the fall. We were lucky to have them camp with us in Nehalem, and I enjoyed talking to them and sharing stories about our cultures.
Back to the laundromat!
