Rainy day break. Amazing to feel so refreshed! I didn’t know I needed it but a day off in the middle of our trek, with a lot of alone time provided me with many moments of peace. Also some of restlessness but I’m glad to have had the time to chew on those moments.
Today we stayed camped out at the Baptist church, they opened their restrooms for us to take a shower and we did laundry a block away at the laundromat.
There was also a lot of stretching, podcast listening, and general introspection.
ALSO there were moments of fancy and lightness that I cherished. My favorite was a spontaneous run to the Dollar General for some delicious potato chips with Ryan.
It poured and sprinkled on and off today and we enjoyed watching some Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and reading a little bit of Mark in the Bible together.
Tomorrow we resume pedaling as we head to Houston to stay a night with family friends I have known since I can remember, Jennifer and Bruce Chidester and their kids Alexia and Blake.
Tomorrow we enter the biggest leg of our trip. TEXAS.
The sun has riz, the sun has set,(many times); and I am still bikin’ in Texas yet!!
