We arrived in Lawrence, Kansas today after an 85 mile ride. The morning was nice, although the highway was busy the shoulder was wide enough for three across and I enjoyed the conversation that occurred during that time. Lunch was in Kansas City, it's weird, the entire city smells like coffee.
The route after lunch was stressful, with a busy road and a small shoulder. Lots of people had flats today. I was glad to arrive in Lawrence. I met up with Erin about 11 miles out of the city and that was a treat. Dinner was provided by a P2SF leader from last year's family. It was delicious and I am now stuffed.
Mostly all I can think about is how my family+Perry are coming tomorrow! I can't wait. Someone brought up the idea of how I will feel after they leave, but I'm trying not to think about that. I think I will be okay though. Lawrence is a nice city and I am excited to spend three days here. Apparently we are blitz building here, all that's up on the house we are working on is the frame. It sounds intense and exciting.
Yesterday was a 95 mile day. It went smoothly, I can't remember much of it at the moment and don't have my journal near. I do remember that the pancakes the host location made us in the morning were delicious.
Until next time,
Rachel
