Today's News
Food drop! The drop had already arrived by the time I talked to the truck in mid-morning. The sun was shining, though, (unlike some years in Natalia) and the cook crew was packing the freezer.

Sunny, nice, less humid than a couple of days ago. Everything's going well.

Last night's show was in a huge high school stadium, where the Colts did a wonderful job.

Jody G told me she had "the best shower ever on tour" at yesterday's school. The showers were in an air conditioned area under the stadium grandstands and were soooo nice.

As always, check colts.org for the latest official word on tour news, housing sites, mail drops, or other corps information.
