Welcome to WkSum3 of Mr. Giraldo’s Tour of Discovery. This week we go from Twin Bridges, Missouri to West Memphis, Arkansas by trike.  He was transported [Day65] from West Memphis, Arkansas to Cordova, Tennessee—just east of Memphis, Tennessee. Mr. G changed his course in Missouri and altered his destination to now be St. Augustine, Florida versus Weston, Florida. Thanks again for your continued readership and interest in his adventures.  –jim

Travel

Mr. Giraldo traveled approximately 190 trike miles during the week [mileage is a map estimate]. Of note, Mr. Giraldo did not ride his trike for 4 days. Two days to rest and two to travel and speak to kids being held at the Porter County Detention Center at Valparaiso, Indiana. Although we only have 3 triking days [Day62-Day54], I’m sure this week holds a special meaning for Rafael. He covered some good distance and got to have the interaction he has been dreaming of since late June. Good for him!!!
