Second letter to Mr Obama

Dear Mr Obama,
I would like to thank you for whatever you did........ but we managed to complete the entire trans Am route without a single dog attack! Not all our friends were so lucky but we made it!
I would also like to congratulate you on your wonderful post office network across the entire country and also the excellent libraries, without which I could not have done my blog. Thank you.
I would like also to mention the wonderful people we met on our travels. Everyone was so interested in what we were doing and where we were from and nobody was short of words of friendly advice.
The American motel network is excellent too, offering low price and almost always good accommodation along the route.
Not every town has a motel so we were very grateful to the various churches who filled a gap by offering accommodation when there was nothing else. Such kindness is much appreciated. Another wonderful service is Hot Showers, an organisation which offers free hospitality to cyclists in need.
The traffic on American roads is not always cyclist friendly but we had no mishaps and so many people rolled down their windows and greeted us to the U.S and gave us a thumbs up!
Many people find it difficult to say a good word about McDonalds but we can only praise them. .... brilliant air conditioning,free wifi, free iced water and ice cubes for our water bottles.We also had lunch for 2 dollars each and enjoyed the many free refills!
The American adventure cycling association also deserves a mention . They are the ones responsible for devising this cycle route for nutters like us!!! Should they be praised or locked up??? I don't know!

I know you have a lot on your plate Mr Obama, but you're doing a great job. You sorted out the dogs for us, you are trying to sort out the economy for your people, any chance of an award for us because it was one long ride and we feel we deserve something for our efforts!!

We made a special detour to Washington DC to thank you personally but you weren't home that day. If you ever come to Wales there will always be a welcome for you and your family in our very own White House.

Fondest regards,

Mary and Dermot xx
