DAY 16 (5/1-SUN) SUFFOLK to WILLIAMSBURG, VA 57 M 1st WET DAY

SUFFOLK to WILLIAMSBURG, VA  57 MILES, 12.3 MPH, 4:38 BT, 9:00 to 4:30. ECONOLODGE LODGE $60. Up after 8-still sore from fall. Went wrong way-man said he would show us way. 9:45 when we finally get out of town. Absolutely beautiful-finally have hills. Oh-oh, starting to rain-keep going. Just get to 1st little corner store we’ve seen in 40 m. Eat hot dog so I can stay inside-pouring-man says rain until 3 AM. People come from church-get beer & scratch offs. Rain lets up-off we go. Steep downhills-afraid because rds wet. Get to ferry at 2:45-ready to load-1st ones on. Free-2 ferries go back & forth 24-7. Get to Econolodge-$60-very nice-huge room w/double sinks. Lost shoe today-go to KMart next door. Buy shoes, UT buys golf shirt & shaving  cream. Has not shaved on trip. Tomorrow Fran is coming from VA Beach to visit us. She is my hero-met her in 2002 going cross country when she was 69-she is still biking more than me. Tomorrow Whitney gets here to start his trip to OR. We have  rest day.
