Today we made some oatmeal for breakfast with some of the blackberries we picked yesterday on our way from Port Angeles. We continued down the same road we took a couple days ago as rode from Sequim back to Port Townsend. It was a foggy morning again, but by the afternoon it warmed up a little. Since we had about 2/3 the amount of our normal serving of mac and cheese before going to bed, we had just enough for a little snack for lunch, which was perfect because we didn't have many miles to do today. We found a little cafe that wasn't open yet that looked like a good spot to make our snack. With a little food in our bellies we started climbing over the last big hill. Shortly after getting into town we saw a tent and a barbeque going outside of the Napa store. We decided to check it out and found out that they were having a cookout/tool sale. Everyone was enjoying cheeseburgers, hotdogs, salads, baked beans, chips, and soda while perusing the tools. It was such a great treat, especially since it was free. Before heading up to Lys's house, we rode around town a little just to explore and then stopped at the library for a little while. When we returned to Lys's house it was kind of neat because we already knew the ropes, so she could keep busy in her garden/ canning. Lys made a really great spaghetti dinner with some of the tomatoes that she had just canned. Again, we had such a great time chatting with Lys. Again it was so nice to sleep in a comfy bed, especially since our tent zippers are starting to fail- the less we have to set it up at this point the better, at least until we get a new tent or figure out a way to fix the one we have. Tomorrow we will ride to Burlington where we will meet up with the German couple, Lea and Greg, and their 14month old, Ronja. We rode 36.47 miles today.
