October 20: Settling in at home

I slept like a baby in my own bed last night! Though I did wake up once in the middle of the night wondering where in the world I was. When I didn’t hear the usual motel sounds — nearby traffic, fans running (either A/C or heaters, depending on the season), water running in nearby rooms — I remembered that we were at home.

I checked the traffic on my web site when I got up this morning. So far today, I’ve had about 2700 page views and that’s nearly three times as many as yesterday and over 10 times as many as any typical day during the tour. Pretty cool!

That kind of spike doesn’t happen on it’s own, so I went looking for the reason why. The Deseret Morning News has a story on the cover of the Utah section. Here’s a link to it:

9,700 miles traveled — on a bicycle

The Daily Utah Chronicle, University of Utah student newspaper, also had a story:

Around the country in 217 days

    Welcome home, Pete! It must seem kind of strange after all this time. Did your kitty come home? I don’t think I ever read whether it had.

    This has been an incredible journey. Thank you for taking us along.

    Welcome home! We’ll see you on Monday evening - sorry that we couldn’t make it to ride in with you - we both wanted to.
