I've been thinking a lot about my Thank You Posts lately. Sometimes it seems that I am writing strings of Thank Yous which makes the touring life seem far more plush than it is. And then I think about those who have helped us, looking up this blog, seeing their Thank You after 5 other Thank Yous and feeling like their help perhaps wasn't needed. And then I skip a Thank You, because maybe the readers are bored of the Thank Yous, but I never forget how I never wrote a Thank You post for that one awesome home stay (i.e. Todd & Barbara in Frisco!) and then it just gets awkward to go back.
Basically, the dilemma is:
- appropriately thanking people
- without making them feel like their help was just a drop in a bucket
- and without creating misleading ideas about bicycle touring
- and not boring readers.
Hm.
Currently blogging out of Steve and Erica's place in Blacksburg, VA. (So close! ..yet so far away.)
There will be a huge backlog of photos, thoughts, reviews and more to come soon!
