The 95 miles today went really quick and was pretty painless. Our pace line was in no rush so we just took our time and had some good conversations. We had a crew chief lunch, which has been very odd recently with all of the amazing sponsored lunches that we have had. Our lodging today was at a church right off of KU’s campus. I took advantage of the afternoon for a nap. We had a great friendship visit for dinner and dance. I met a woman named Mary who was in a wheelchair and non-communicative. She still wanted to dance, so we went to the front and just swung our arms back and forth. It was amazing to see how happy she was about the smallest things. I had a great time hanging out with her for the majority of the friendship visit. I found it really neat that we where able to still communicate with each other even though she could not talk. It definitely took extra work and additional yes and no questions but I could tell that she was so happy that someone was spending time getting to know her.
