Well, after a 14-mile Monday, a 27-mile Tuesday, and 17-mile Wednesday, it’s time to take Thursday off here at Thibodaux’s Dansereau House, where wonderful innkeepers Paul & Lori Worrel have invited me to spend two nights before I continue my walk into New Orleans. Not only is my body aching and in need of a physically light day, I also can definitely use this great opportunity (especially with their wifi) to update the blogs and photos here on enjoythewalk.org.

This week’s story of the lovely encounter with Andrew Forstoefel, whom I met as he was passing through Franklin on his walk across America to collect the fascinating stories of everyday Americans, is now a tale being broadcast by news organizations across the United States and beyond– 188 stories from newspapers and stations across America and beyond can be found just on Google News. So, this is the perfect time to fill in many of the digital blanks with some of the very BEST selected moments of not only the past week, but also further back as well.

After a wonderful morning radio interview with local KBIT here in Thibodaux, I’m also preparing for up to three more interviews today in Thibodaux. People here have beautiful hearts and souls, and I feel very fortunate to have the chance to meet so many of them!
