A Much Better Day
Well, I made it to Mechanicsville (I’m just 14.8 miles from the end town today). Traditionally the last town before the overnight town is the major party town. It’s crazy down here. I just popped into the public library to write a quick note.
What’s happened since Solon? Well, We went through several towns - Lisbon and Mount Vernon (only about 2 miles apart) are on the top of my list right now for potentially the best towns on the ride. They were great. We were (as I think I mentioned) looking for pancakes and someone told us that a a place called “Gwen’s” had a great breakfast buffet for $5. Unfortunately when we got there, they had just closed it down (they ran out of food). Fortunately, they just opened up their lunch buffet - $6 all you can eat… roast beef, roast turkey, mashed potatos, gravy, corn, rolls, etc. All incredible (I’d know… I tried some of everything.) [If I were paying attention to my Weight Watcher’s points this week I’d be in some MAJOR trouble!!!) 
Just 2 miles down the road from Gwens We got to Mount Vernon (a college town) and I stopped for 20 minutes or so at a wonderful little coffee shop called “Fuel.” If you’re ever there, try ‘em. So far, it’s the best americano I’ve had this week.
To top that off, six miles later I found the daily “Peanut Butter Jam” place. I’ve been looking forward to them since I found them yesterday. It was great (but too many people are finding out about them so there was a pretty big line). Again, totally worth it.
Anyhow… I don’t know if I’ll get to the internet truck tonight - It’s been a great day.
Grace and Peace,
