DAY 28 PHOENIXVILLE to CONSHOHOCKEN, PA  23 MILES, 2:10 BT, 9:00 to 1:00. RESIDENCE INN ($124 + tax) Left at 9:00-10 m-get on trail to Valley Forge. Bike to VF national park-ranger tells us couple over there from San Antonio, TX. Go talk to them-Christie-retired PE teacher-taught in NEISD-what are the odds-I was PE teacher in NEISD too. See them at several other stops. Go to visitor’s center-can’t stay long-OR says rain is coming. Get on wrong rd-go back to VC. Find trail-after construction-trail is flat along river, rr tracks-pass a lot of vacant industrial buildings. Now rain-stand under hut for 30 min-OR says Residence Inn is 1/2 m away. Go-looks like out of price range. HOW MUCH WOULD YOU PAY? $200!! Dripping wet-goes in to check. Comes back $124 + tax. Asked for cheapest room for old people. Manager says-don’t tell anyone-I’ll give you government rates. Didn’t say anything about bringing in bikes-did get towels to clean them up. Tiger & Sparky couldn’t believe their room. Eat Mex food for dinner-OR says best burrito he’s ever eaten-had shrimp tacos. Behind schedule-may not get to NY & Jane until Wed. Every day is different-some a lot better than others.
