University of Southern Louisiana at Lafayette, where I am now. I cycled 84 miles yesterday from Baton Rouge to here--my second longest distance in a day.

I finally hit the coast here on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. Near the coast, which has been cleaned up dramatically since the storm, lay slab after concrete slab of where homes used to be. Some of the larger homes, and the historical estates are being rebuilt. Further along the coast, the bridge was out at Pass Christian, but the next morning, a vehicle ferry began operating. I camped out on the beach and took the inaugural ferry ride at 6:30am, and I was intervied by the local radio station!
