America By Bicycle: Day 3

We stopped after 10 miles for second breakfast at a gas station. Got two bowls of easy-Mac, two bagels with cream cheese and a big blueberry muffin. Mmm

Woke up at 530 yesterday and ate breakfast with Dan and packed up and left around 720. Dan rode with us for about 10 miles and showed us a little detour to avoid a ridge we were planning on climbing over. It was raining (of course) and rained all day.

We stopped at a Dunkin doughnuts(America runs on Dunkin) and stayed for about an hr and a half while Allie wrote the blog post from yesterday and we dried out a little.

Then kept going for a while and had lunch at this Italian place called Mama's. it was actually very bad food.

We had a whole pie and a plate of garlic bread. Ate almost the whole thing but saved two pieces for later.

We found this great little fruit market. And ate a TON of fruit and brought some more to carry with us. The owner said that his uncle owns another fruit stand in Kansas and that when we get there he will give us free fruit! Woo!

California peaches(hope we make it there..)

Right after we stopped, we went up this gigantic mountain. 2.5 mile climb and then the best downhill ever.

Right on the other side we stopped for third lunch and got some egg rolls and we were talking to the guy. He was surprised we were going to California, but even more shocked that we just came from "the other side". People in the town call beyond the mountain "the other side"

Oh yeah, and it rained again all day.

Again.

We found some lamas on our way down. I called them over with my lama-call.

The end of our ride was beautiful. Pennsylvania is a wonderful green state.

We like this

We stayed at a beautiful Cabin that Allies mom rented for us. She came in late last night to keep us company for a few days. And help sag us. Going to be great.
