Sunday, July 20, 2008, Cozy Comfort RV Park, Dolores, Colorado
We slept in till 9:00, then got ready ot go to First Baptist Church in Cortez. The church there is breaking away from the American Baptist Church association because of the association's tolerance of the gay life style and its departure from biblical authority, so they are taking a stand for what's right. Sarah was sick, so after the service, we drove to the hospital and it turns out she has strep throat. We filled the prescription of antibiotics and then decided to splurge and go to a Chinese buffet. The selection was small, but the food was good. I methodically packed it in, plate after plate of main dishes followed by plates of fruit and desserts. By 3:30 we were done. It's now 10:15 pm and I'm still satisfied. After the meal, I was extremely sleepy, so as soon as we arrived back at the tent, I took a nice 2 ½ hour nap, which was just as wonderful as the meal, just what the doctor ordered. The younger ones, except Sarah, went fishing again tonight, but Willie was the only one who caught anything, a small bass. Oh, I forgot, Paul caught a small green water snake too.
We made it! October 17, 2008
Arrival in Portland, Maine - Total Mileage 4,502

Que se mejore Sarita!!! I have read all posts! Lisa sat and read many with me just now. Thanks for sharing your experience with us! I am trying to get $100 for the bike trailer. I got an offer of $50 and told them it was not enough. They came back today and offerred $70. Do you want to accept that or should I name a higher amount? Then, how can I get the money to you? We are using the bikes daily and enjoying them very much! Are you going to the Focus on the Family headquarters? I'm sure they'd love to meet you! Proud to know you, Joe. PS, Lisa says HI to Paul and all.

Hi John,
I hope you are having a good time. I hope you come home soon. I would like to take you to the water park in Morgan Hill. Maybe we could get some pizza after. Call me when you want to. I'll be home.
Your friend,
Richard
