Persistence
My brother visited last week. He has been riding across the country since May. You can read about his adventures on his blog.
Like learning to play an instrument, a big goal requires persistence.

You will create a collection of pieces you know well and can revisit.
And like Mark, make many friends along the way.

I’ve been so lucky with great people taking me in to there homes and sharing about the places they live. I had my first good breakfast of the trip at Cafe Brûlée and it didn’t break the bank. After, I went to the the National Music Museum at the University of South Dakota. ( Tom Brokaw went there) Had a great time looking at a broad range of instruments and wished could have spent a bit more time enjoying the museum. After enjoying the instruments, my host (who works at the university) met me for a coffee and then I hit the road and stopped in the town…
