2 days and 2 states

Between Monday and Tuesday of this week, we crossed borders into my 11th and 12th states for the trip (PA and NY). Pretty exciting to get through the massive state of Pennsylvania so quickly! PA, actually surprised me a bit, at least on Tuesday. There were hundreds of vineyards. I was talking to Stuart and Dan, trying to decide what the grapes might be used for. We thought maybe grape juice or grapes for eating, but we nixed the wine possibility, because who has ever heard of Pennsylvania wine?? Well, it turns out we were mistake, there were quite a few local wineries. Anyways. On to New York.
So, along with every other state welcome sign we've come to we were excited to see it. Dan offered to take the pic for me, which was great, but what you dont' see in this picture is the next moment where I'm laying on the ground after my attempt to start moving after the picture. Feet clipped in, gears set too high and grass just don't come together very well for bikers. But on the other hand, I did find out that the grass under that sign is incredibly soft. I really just wanted to lay there for a while.
Last night we stayed at a christian camp in Angola, NY. They weren't able to provide us with food, so for breakfast and dinner we went to the Mustard Seed restaurant. The lady who owns the place (just recently opened) offered to open back up after she normally closes for us to have dinner and cooked a great buffet breakfast for the team. It was really a blessing for her and her team to take care of us, and on top of that it was just a lot of fun.
