Erica at Vineyard Vines covered the cost, and we set up a temporary tattoo parlor in our host family's kitchen. The tattoos even came with directions for application and removal . . . and a motorcycle:
Well . . . the tattoos didn't actually come with a motorcycle, but the Zwierecke family had one. We thought it would make a fitting tribute to our arm art. The coolest thing is that by flexing your arm you can make the whale swim . . . so beautiful.
Tomorrow we'll unleash our new whalepower on the road - we're headed to Tiffin, OH to stay with a little cancer warrior named Christi . . . I hope she likes tattoos.

Nice tan line
When I started telling people I hung out with these bikers who were trying to raise money for cancer they all thought ya'll were riding motorcycles! It took me a while to figure it out and explain that you were actually riding bicycles- so I suppose your new rides are fitting! Have you shown your pink whales to some guys on Harleys yet? I wonde what they would think....
I just wanted to thank all of you for staying with us. To see the determination and commitment you hold for this cause is simply amazing and inspiring. Good luck with the rest of the ride...we will be following you every step of the way!
p.s. Sorry about the milk, Austin, thanks for playing with the boys, Tom, thank you for letting me in on your family's journey with this disease, Claire, and good luck with the documentary, Nick! Whew!
Kim, Dave, Nicholas, and Zachary
