Picking up a hitchhiker

We found out today that a good friend from Green Bay is possibly going to join us for a few days of our trip. Fred Sheppard was Dave's travel companion when he went to Belgium for the Spring Classics in 2005 and biked the routes of the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix. We have a great picture of Fred feeding Dave a HUGE French pastry from the window of the rental car!! We're looking at picking Fred up in Barcelona and taking him with us through the cruelty of Andorra and dropping him off a few days later alongside the road - or in Toulouse. :)

Fred knows Spanish (along with several other languages) and can also drive a stick, so we're of course welcoming him to the bus! Dave will be glad for the encouragement, I'll be glad for the assistance!!

  1. Julie...I hope this works out...it would be nice to have someone to share the sights and also give you a break from the driving! Hope it works out!
