We're settled into an actual bed after actual showers in actual air conditioning. Life is looking a lot better than last night. There's a thunderstorm rolling around outside, making us even happier to be under a roof tonight instead of a tent.
I feel like this kind of thing is what brings people back to RAGBRAI year after year. Karen, our host, has four bedrooms upstairs that she rents to students and people coming through. Her brother owns a B&B in town and when he fills up he points people to her. Emily and her husband have one, and two other riders - one from Davenport and one from San Francisco - are sharing the room with two twins. We had a really nice visit with them and Karen and her great grandson, Dayton. I could go on and on about her, but it's getting late, so suffice it to say she is easily today's highlight.
Tomorrow is another 80some mile day, so we'll keep working at the hydration and power on through.
Glad to see you are still having fun.
