Day forty-eight Lafayette to Indianapolis

Kim and I decided yesterday while we were riding past our 100th cornfield and maybe our 150th soybean field that Indiana was very similar to northern South Dakota except for the ratio of corn fields to soybean fields and that we would skip the up close and personal part of the trip and get to Indianapolis by a four wheel vehicle instead of our usual two wheels. Which means we still need to get up at 4:45, back up our stuff, eat breakfast at some ungodly hour, pack up the coolers, rush around to make sure everything is getting packed up, circle up, and than wait. The wait is for Garth, who is driving the truck today, to do his morning prayers. So Kim and I took a walk around the neighborhood and now we're back waiting to leave. Leaving in five minutes. Will write more later.

Later
Kim and I had a lovely day. Not sure when we got to the JCC in Indianapolis,  but probably around
9:00. We got enough information to get us to the Nature Park near by. It was the first time in a while that I got on my bike and said "it feels good to be biking". From the Nature Park we found out how to get to the bike path that would bring us downtown. On the way Kim got a hair cut and I checked out the smoke shop next door. The bike path was nicely shaded and lead right to downtown Indianapolis. We decided on a busy bistro place for lunch and we were not disappointed. It was as if we were on vacation. I decided that this meal deserved a glass of wine and we also split an order of fried sweet potatoes that really were the best fried sweet potatoes I've ever had. I could go back tomorrow. We biked bike to the JCC and clocked in 26 miles for the day.  I think this was a wonderful way to spend the day.  We're thinking maybe we should do this again.
Kim and I have scoped out our sleeping area. We though we were going to have to sleep in a big room all together, but no we have the choose of eight classrooms or the library. We have Mr. Cohen's classroom. I think others will find their own private place. We are not really wanting to share our space . Not exactly one big happy family.

Time for community meeting. After that Friday services and after services dinner which means dinner at 9:30. Way too late, but we did have very good snack time at 6:00  -  last night's spinach feta pie and hummus with veggies. So I may go to sleep before dinner.  Or maybe during services.
