Warmshowers hosts two nights in a row, what luxury. I bicycled this morning a few miles between the two of them. First Dale with his amazing peddle assist bike and our dinner out on the town and then Greg and Cindy. Greg took me to the bike shop so I could get a new tire and tubes followed by a trip to the grocery store for food for my thirty-four hour train ride. Before leaving for his volunteer job he gave me the layout of his house, showed me where the beer was and gave me refrigerator rights. He made me feel totally at home. I had the whole house to myself along with Rosco their 12 year Labrador. Cindy was gone all day but with Greg being around for an hour in the morning, we hit it off instantly, talked about everything, like we had known each other for years. That night Cindy cooked up a first class dinner after which we searched online for a warmshowers host for tomorrow night. No responses yet so we are looking into inexpensive hotels near Union Station. There is a local NFL game tomorrow which we suspect is the reason no one is responding. Finally with my train leaving late evening of the 17th, Greg and Cindy are giving me a ride up to Kansas City. They are visiting their daughter so I really lucked out. Great hospitality and a thankful ride up to Kansas City, great people they are. I had a good day of relaxation.
