NOLA!

6/6/22

Today we rode from Pearlington, Mississippi to New Orleans. It was a short ride at 33 miles because we had to shuttle past road closures on bridges, but we still managed to get multiple flats on the debris-filled Louisiana road shoulders.

We're staying at the Common Ground Relief bunkhouse, where we relaxed before dinner. I was able to attend a class at Magnolia Yoga Studio (the first black-owned yoga studio in NOLA!) taught by AJax, which upon arrival I realized was a hot yoga class. I walked out dripping sweat, but it felt really good to get back into yoga and talk with AJax and other yoga attendees.

After yoga I was able to explore the city center a little bit, getting a taste of New Orleans with gumbo for dinner and the sounds of jazz in the air.
