Had a very relaxing rest day in Newton today. After saying our goodbyes to last night's hosts, we went to the movie theater and saw Jurassic World for only $5. Afterwards we met Heather at the Newton Bike Shop Hostel where we are currently staying.
This place is amazing. They have all the standard bike shop features including a bike repair workshop, a bike wash station, and a well stocked retail section. In addition they offer comfy bunks, a kitchen and bathroom, and plenty of extra food and toiletries should any biker be in need. It's also decorated with some pretty interesting bike parephernalia and is very well-kept. The best part: locally brewed beer on tap in a kegerator. This place really does live up to its claim as the "oasis in the grass desert".
Tomorrow we get back on the road. It's crazy to think we've gone over 1,700 miles at this point. There are supposed to be severe thunderstorms tomorrow so hopefully we will be able to avoid them. I'm not looking forward to the inevitable winds.
