Baystate Hospital and a Radio Interview

Today began with a visit to Baystate Hospital, one of the places where Dr. Jim Burns, one of our hosts from last night, works. We visited with a bunch of the kids, saying hi and handing out t-shirts. One kid, Alex, asked us to sign his shirt, and once we did that we found a wave of kids waiting to get autographs. It was pretty cool. We almost felt like celebrities. Anyway, some of the kids got on our bikes and posed for pictures with us, and we had some media there recording what we were doing. We got to meet a few doctors, too, which was great. We don't get to meet them at every hospital, but Dr. Burns made sure to introduce us. We went over to the Children's Hospital where we found a huge sign that some of the kids and volunteers had made welcoming us. So we got to meet a few more kids and their families. After that, we went back to the Burns home, got a couple of bike shop errands done, did some documentary interviews, and relaxed for a bit. The Burnses made us a huge dinner, giving us some great lasagna, salad, and a little more ice cream cake. Right after that, we got ready for a phone-in radio interview for an Atlanta radio show called 'Following Passions.' It went pretty well. After all this is over, Austin and I are supposed do a follow-up, so hopefully that one goes well, too. Now we'll get some sleep so that we can make it to Boston tomorrow.
