We woke at 7 am, and began biking at 7:45 am. Lorraine stopped at Dunkin' Donuts to get a breakfast treat! We rode down some pretty streets, through town and past the College of William & Mary, before getting on the Colonial Parkway towards Jamestown. This scenic route added several miles to our route today! We had taken a short cut on the way into town, but decided that this route was safer. However, when we turned west on Route 5, there were many big trucks speeding down the road (on Sunday, there weren't any trucks on this road). All the trucks made Lenny anxious, and he wanted to hurry to get off this road. He started yelling at Lorraine to pedal faster, which got her upset. After a good screaming fight, we pedaled in silence for most of the day. Lorraine did pedal faster, but it was because she was so angry.
We stopped at a convenience store near the entrance to the Berkeley Plantation to eat our lunch. The traffic increased again because we were in town and because it was rush hour. At one point, some teens in a small car yelled at us and threw something at Lenny. We stopped at a Mexican restaurant to have dinner and to get away from the traffic for awhile. We enjoyed a great meal. We continued another 10 miles to Ashland, where we stayed at the Super 8 Motel.
