Hot, hilly, demanding. We ate breakfast in this great old store that had a display case and a billiard table that had been photographed in the very store way back in the in the 1920’s. Then we played on playground equipment like overgrown children on a sugar rush. We made Bill happy by making a shop-stop at Wal-mart.
Later we made a wrong turn and ended up eating lunch in Mexico. What an excellent wrong turn at Gerco’s we ate delicious huge sandwiches of which I could only eat half. While we were eating a woman approached and told us of her bicycle ride across America. Just before she left she mentioned that her husband had died yesterday afternoon. I cannot imagine, how, incredible that she had gone out of her way to speak with us at such a time…literally on her way from making funeral arrangements.
