day 69

we awoke to a sweltering room and everyone was asleep still so we tried to pack up quietly. we said goodbye to brian and thanked him for a great weekend. we went to bodo's bagels to grab some breakfast then started to make our way to warrenton. we were making great time since we were taking the highway straight up to it and did about 40 miles in 3 hours. we arrived in a town and decided to go see inception since we didn't get to see it the night before so we hit up a grocery store for a snack then waited in a cafe for a bit till the movie started. when we got to the movie theater we met lone cyclist who was riding up the atlantic coast for a bit. it was nice to take in a movie and inception was a good one, a thinker for sure. just nice to do normal things instead of just biking. we got out of the movie and there was a bad storm north of us and we were hoping to not get hit by it since we had 25 miles left to ride. we busted out the remainder of the miles in good time and made it to warrenton and found sarah's house at the top of a steep hill on high road. ha. we stored our bikes inside her shack then went inside and enjoyed a great home cooked dinner of salmon, greek yogurt, vegetables, and cider; it was so good. we then enjoyed some ice cream as we continued chatting about college, traveling, our trip, and her work as a pastor. she is a super nice lady and has been to some great places including boston and washington d.c. so we wrote down lots of sights to visit while we were in each city. for the rest of the evening i caught up with my dad and friend, chris, on the phone and i believe evan and sarah talked for a bit longer. we all then headed to bed for the evening. i past out right when i laid down since we haven't been getting much sleep lately, but we had to be up early to leave when she headed off to work, so still not enough rest. i didn't take any pictures really because there wasn't anything that caught my eye or that was too exciting, so get ready for d.c. there will be lots of pics, i promise.
