Me, Mary Ruth, Karen, Kory at flea market

HUNTSVILLE to LIVINGSTON, TX (WED 10/21) 44.5 miles  12mph  8:00-2:00

Nights are not fun-all in bed by 9-took 2 benedryl-no help. Upset because of trouble posting pictures. Worse-can’t get chip out of computer for my camera. Get up -go in bathroom-read newspaper-spend hr trying to pry chip out-break pick. Karen knocks on door to use bathroom-I’m sitting on toilet w/notebook-it’s now almost midnight. Still can’t sleep-think about GANDHI. 3 are up at 6-get I up at 7 & pack. Kory takes look at notebook-what’s this? I was  trying to open WRONG opening-did I feel stupid after spending 4 hrs on the problem. Take picture in front of flowers &  pray-start day 4. Leave LaQuinta-use directions out of town that MRuth got from a trucker. Good shoulder-see good downhill. Took off-feel like a biker for 1st time on trip-25 m before stopping at small gas station & wait. Kory takes off.  Ride changes because shoulder changes to rough! Kory & I stop at flea market shop to wait. Kory comes back-have to see bathroom-has everything including Christmas tree & kitchen sink. Other 2 are here-LILLY (78) is a gem-takes our picture-high point of the day. Kory & I head down the rd-get call from MRuth-Karen can’t clip in -still at store-45 min later. Try to bike down hill-almost falls. A man stops-uses all his strength & gets her shoe in clip. Kory & I bike to very nice LaQuinta-she goes back to lead them in-I sit in tub until they arrive. Go to Subway & back to sit in hot tub. I’m now in front of tv-others are gone (7:30 pm) Tomorrow will be longest day-need sleep-will start early.

One of a kind toilet-
Can’t put paper in toilet
