Goodbye Nick

Nick, packed & Ready to Leave



Well, we had to say our goodbyes to Nick, our Russian friend, this morning. He is making his 60-mile bike ride back to the west side of Tampa today. He will be staying a few days with a friend from Moscow, and then he will be flying to New York to catch his return flight back to Russia.



Nick, on th Road to Tampa

I offered to load his bike in the back of the Hummer and drive him there, but he said that he would rather ride the bike and see the sights on the way.

We will miss Nick, but he will be back in about six months to visit us again. He is planning to spend time in Columbia and Uruguay on his next travel itinerary. He will probably fly from Moscow into Tampa, spend a month or two here in Florida, and then fly to South America.
