Day 32 June 1st! Sunday Day of Rest

We rode for six days, and today is the seventh, and yay! we actually took it off :) We pre planned our meals for today and bought all the necessary food to make it a day with no porridge, bagels, or spaghetti…

So this morning, when we woke up, the boys stayed in bed (Jay for once didn’t get up first) and Kinshasa and I pulled out the WAFFLES!!!! we were too hungry to make them all, then us four sit at the table and eat like normal people, so we cooked and ate as they were coming off the frying pan….waffles top porridge any day. We had also bought peach yogurt and syrup to go with them and they were scrumptiously umptiously delicious.  We polished off a box of 24 in no time flat. well, not just us girls. we each had our own stack, ate, then cooked up the rest for the guys. Waffles are delic, but they don’t contain as much filler properties as porridge, soo…we whipped out the old porridge again…NOT!  Instead, we had fruit, and hmm, I actually can’t remem..wait.. i do so remeber. we whipped out the cinnamon buns! yum yum. we pulled a Will Taylor move, and ate the rest of the cinnamon buns for breakfast.

Last night, we also decided that we were going to make it to church, so we packed like speediness, threw everything in our tent, and rode through town looking down random streets for lots of cars gathered. We for sure thought church would be started anywhere as it was already 10 30, but as we were riding, we saw a bunch of cars, thought “hmm, maybe this is a church”, and to our surprise, it was a foursquare church that started at…10:45! what church starts at 10:45??!!

Church was awesome. We can say no more. They pretty much had an orchestra going on upstage, and they had a grad tribute thingy as well, which was cool. The pastor was hyper active, and is always like that we presume, cause he came up and chatted with us after. Funny, He had seen us at Albertsons the day before. We were soo glad to have made it to church, finally, and it was super close to our campsite too…God seems to work everything out perfectly.

Now…our clothes…. we threw them all in BOB and rode into town to find a much needed laundromat, internet, and a grocery store. we were just about to a laundromat, and ka pop! another flat tire….. I probably don’t have to tell you who it was, cause at the rate flat tires have been happenning to one individual in our group, i’m sure you can guess…Kinshasa! She had ridden right through a sea of glass…hehe we all saw it, but because she was using her eyeballs to search high and low for a laundromat, they became fixated on a shop called “the door” and she did not see it-though Jodie warned her- and rode right through.

Thankfully she had packed just one spare and the tire pump, so we fixed it in a jiffy, and were on our way again. While the guys sat at the laundromat and ate frosted frosty doughnuts and drank Arizona iced tea, us girls walked to find the library so we could update this blog.

we did not get this blog updated fully as everyone could see, and we are still far behind, but when we finished at the library, our laundry was all nice and clean and the boys had even folded it for us! We did a quick shop and headed back to the campsite to make dinner.

For dinner, we made corn, rice and sausage and for dessert…banana boats :D that was super good. after supper we wrote more blogs without internet, had showers that cost money and were lukewarm (for the girls..the boyz was broken so they had unlimited hot showers) and listened to the frogs croak and a strange black cat scamper through the bush.

good night.
