Day 24, rest

Sundays are divine (pun intended). This one was particularly good, since we ended Saturday's ride only 23 miles from my sister Shirley's house. She wasn't expecting us but came and picked us up, bikes and all, and took us to her house. Then she fed us, and fed us, and fed us some more. We went to church with her family, after bumming clothes from everyone. I had the deacon look going, with a white shirt, slacks, and tennis shoes. After 3 hours at church we just hung out and talked. Kristi commented that she wanted to become the kind of person Shirley is, always willing to help others. Matt got on their computer and found us a detailed route to the border. He printed out all the instructions so we can wind our way through LA tomorrow, and San Diego on Tuesday. This will be invaluable for us to be able to not have to navigate en route.

Our quest is nearly done.
