A simple day. Woke in the park after yet another round of night thunderstorms, and packed my things wet with no other choice. Rode back down the penninsula, through warm air despite the thick clouds overhead. Back in Green Bay I laid up in a coffee shop on Broadway for a while and surfed the web. Looked outside and the rain had come. Ran out to cover up my things and pull out my rain suit. Came time to go to the doctor, which I did, riding south a ways, passed many a railroad track and warehouse to the suburb of Ashwuabanon. Doc visit was successful and rode to town again, in the rain, to the historic Astor Park district on the south east side of Green Bay. Some very pretty homes with streets named after odd presidents like Monroe and Vam Buren. Met my host for the night, Austin, at his place on Emilie st. He had a nice garage for me to stay, full of camping and biking gear. Glad to have a roof over my head on a rainy evening. I set some things out to dry and we talked.
I noticed a special looking bike in the back- it was his bike polo rig. A nifty little thing. He cooked up a mean curry and let me try some of his home brew- a great combo. I purused his records while the dog, Mally, wandered about. Later, I slept while listening the rain above me. A comforting night.
