Amazing! We continue to be so very blessed with such generosity!

Wasn't loving today's ride along Route 30. I had forgotten about traffic in the East. Traffic was heavy and loud. The road's shoulder was littered with garbage. I told Jack that I thought we should have stayed north and ventured through Michigan.
But even along the busy highway, we saw a deer run through the cornfield. Above the sun's rays glittered through the shades of blue sky - Despite the traffic, it was a beautiful day! We saw a windmill headed for delivery. First, a wide load led by a police escort carried part of the base. About an hour later, a second police escort carried another part of the base. We then saw several large trucks each carrying a single blade. I never realized how huge each windmill is!

Then as we completed the day's ride we knew that we were exactly where we were meant to be! Entering Warsaw, Indiana we headed for the library. Just as we got there a young boy approached us and asked about our trip. He asked if we needed a place to spend the night and offered his home! Then a second man, Dick, joined the conversation and also invited us for the night. He offered his home for showers, laundry, beds, and then said he would take us out for dinner! The younger boy said he couldn't compete and that we should take Dick's offer :-) Just amazing!

The evening spent with Nancy, Dick and their son, Zach felt like an evening with old friends! Dick had biked across the US years ago, and it was fun comparing notes. He also had ridden the Great Allegheny Passage which we will be on as we make our way through Pennsylvania. We are again overwhelmed by their kindness!
