A couple of hours later, after finding a bike shop to replace my trailer tire, we had reached the Delaware river and crossed into New Jersey. This marked the second to last major river I had to cross, the Hudson still remained, and the fourteenth state of my trip. As has been the custom, we stopped at the border and took a picture of the sign welcoming us to a new state.

A few miles later, Alex and I stopped to make a phone call to an old coworker of ours. Sherri Borges still works for DigitalThink, but several years ago decided to leave the Bay Area with her husband and move to the country of western New Jersey. When I called to let her know where we were, she told us we were only three miles from her house, so invited us over. Sherri and her husband live on six acres of land overlooking the surrounding countryside. They both work from their home, so they were able to spend some time with us, offering us snacks and a swim in their pool. After a couple of hours, we had to get back on the road and Sherri had to get on a conference call with the client that Alex and I both worked with before we left DigitalThink. We made sure she told them that she saw us and to tell them that we weren't thinking about them at all. What a wonderful feeling.
