We woke at 7 am and had bagels for breakfast with Curtis, Becky and Andy. They were the ultimate hosts during our stay – we felt just like family! Lenny made phone calls to find a bike shop that could replace his tire rim, and then Becky drove us to Cycle Adventures to get the rim that Lenny wanted. They had to order it and have it shipped overnight so that they could do the repairs tomorrow. We went to Curtis’s office and he introduced us like celebrities! We met some of his Amish-Mennonite patients and chatted with them. We met Celesta and Chester Shrock and their daughters Treasure and Kristina. We also met Treasure’s daughter Charmin, who is just beginning to walk. Celesta asked us many questions about our ride and was a pleasure to speak with. Curtis checked and adjusted Lenny & Lorraine.
We all went to Steak & Shake for lunch, then Becky took us to Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World – Missouri’s biggest tourist attraction. We saw an 82-pound catfish and a 110-pound alligator snapping turtle in the aquarium. Andy kicked Lorraine’s butt at Nintendo, then Andy had a baseball game to play, but we stayed at home and took a nap. They came home to pick us up at 8:45 pm so we could go to Nakado for dinner. Nakado is a Japanese steak house, and Andy’s favorite restaurant. The chef cooked our food right in front of us! Lenny and Andy had a late-night swim in the pool.
