Day 34 Rest Day

Awe ... this is luxury. Slept in a quiet, air conditioned room and feeling great. Super breakfast, washing machine on and working hard. Mark and I are heading downtown to the Natural History Museum for a bit of culture. Wearing borrowed clothes and trying to come to terms with what's happening. Beautiful day ... It's going to be warm but not as bad as what's happening on the east coast.


Outside Mark's front door. Mark took me into the Natural History Museum ... being a Saturday it was very busy but full of fun exhibits.


This is the land of T-Rex and plenty of genuine dinosaur fossilised bones.


Lovely to be inside in the AC. Outside temperature in high 90sF ... being a tourist is hard work.


Going back to the pool to cool down. Joined by Brooke and Tyler. An evening meal of spaghetti bolognaise, salad and a nice bottle of wine is preparing me well. I'm getting loaded up with 'carbs' and having a good rest. Excellent hospitality.

First rest day me thinks .We were talking about your adventure over breakfast and marvelling at the fact that you can cycle 60 miles a day without pain . Joe quipped " I couldn't even get to Mace for my paper every morning on a bike".
Give Mark our regards .

Hi Mark,
A very big thank you to you and your wife for welcoming Joseph into your beautiful home . The hospitality he has been shown since he started his trip has been amazing . It certainly restores your faith in human nature !
I think he mentioned washing machine, dirty clothes ... my deepest sympathy to your wife !!!

As yet I can't put a face to your name .. if Joey ( as you would have known him at the Tower ) puts a few photos up I daresay I'll recognize you !

I know Joseph will enjoy his stay with you .. I hope you enjoy having
him .. he can go on a bit lol .
Look forward to seeing the photos, and again many thanks ! Vivi
