It was just another day and 108 miles later Marilyn was in Topeka, Kansas. Rolling hills and overcast in the 80's, another good day. She rode about 1/2 of the day alone since the group ahead was a bit too fast for her and the one behind was just too slow today.
One of the breaks was in a park and for the few minutes they were there, they listened to some musicians. Marilyn was standing near a 7 year old girl and she was interested in what Marilyn was doing. Marilyn told her she enjoyed being in Kansas and the girl replied that she really liked it in Kansas because there were not a lot of people there and there was peace.......that really struck Marilyn.
There were tornado warnings on Friday night and they all had to leave their rooms and go downstairs for about 1/2 hour. Once down there she realized that she did not take the items that would be critical if there had been a tornado, those items would be her medication and bike..... Welcome to Kansas
When you go away from home you do miss certain things and Marilyn really misses her animals and animals in general. She realizes she has a strong connection to animals.
Sunday she will ride 88 miles to St Joseph, Missouri and a well deserved day off on Monday. On the agenda for Monday will be a trip to the chiropractor and a massage.
She says hello to all, more again in a few days...
