Its been 3 days since I have added anything to this so here goes:
The trip along the Cape of Virginia towards the Chesapeake Bay Bridge was a hot, sometimes boring, sometimes dangerous one. (The roads I decided to take were direct, but not necessarily the safest for a bike to travel on.) It didn't help anything that I had a repeat performance of my first day out, four flat tires.

My back tire once again had a knack for finding every tiny, sharp piece of metal on the road.

The cape of Virginia is mostly made up of produce and chicken farms. Perdue Chicken Company has a major stake in this area. Every big chicken farm here has a big ol' Perdue sign in the front of it. These farms are basically made up of
enormous warehouses with giant feed silos attached to each one. For some reason, I couldn't find a single chicken or person hanging around any of these farms as I rode by them. There were also some really cool swamps:

| swamp! |
I finally made it to Cape Charles well after the sun went down and was lucky enough to find a place to let me stay. A reasonably priced B&B run by this really nice guy named Steve.
