Rest = Fun

We all took another rest day today which turned out to be a good choice cause it was a nasty, wet day anyway. Instead of racing we took the opportunity to go check out Lake Michigan which is pretty close by.

Down by the lake it was super foggy and made for a really cool, peaceful setting as we skipped rocks, played on the shore, and climbed out on some barrier boulders. Joey brought his towel cause his mind was set on swimming but as soon as he touched the water he decided otherwise. It was as cold as an ice bath, and almost the second he submerged his foot it went numb....he decided to pass on the swimming!

While we were out we also stopped at this awesome bakery and picked up two homemade loaves of bread which we've been devouring ever since.
We've also come to realize how lucky we've been with host housing. We've stayed at 3 host houses in a row and every time we've been treated to our own living area in the basement of the host's house. In Chicago, the Joslyns could not have been a single bit more helpful or enjoyable to be around then they were; and this time we even have our own mini fridge and big flat screen T.V. in the basement! Everyone is so nice to host and put up with cyclists like us.
