Day 24, Thurs 10/1: Day Off Bikes But Doing Our Chores

Oh how wonderful to have another day off. We have ceased to call them rest days as we spend the entire day with chores, but at least our butts are not subject to hours in the saddle, or our legs pushing those pedals 'round and 'round.



Here we are working on the blog, wine in hand.

We did get massages, mediocre ones, but anything helps. And we stopped at a bike shop and bought almost their entire stock of tubes and CO2 canisters, having greatly depleted our supply.

We were in Farmington with our friends and hosts, Leslie and Paul, and were exceptionally well taken care of with cozy beds, warm showers, interesting conversation, and photos and stories of their recent bicycling trip in the Czech Republic, Germany, and the Netherlands. Leslie served two wonderful dinners, one of which was excellent chili rellenos with apple pie (apples from their orchard) for dessert. Yummmm.








As we near our return to Taos, we are getting excited to be home to family and pets. Chris has been busy getting the house clean for Martha's arrival. Thanks, honey, can't wait to see you!
