7/25- Roswell- DAY OFF!

Today was exactly the kind of relaxed day off I was in the mood for. After sleeping in to 7AM!, I left with a group of people and took public transit to Dennys, where another group of riders had organized breakfast for 15. After an awesome breakfast of eggs, pancakes, and hash browns, we walked across the street to a Hastings, where I was able to buy another pair of headphones that I had lost in Yukon, along with a copy of American Flyers for trip viewing, as it’s easily my favorite cycling movie.

Breakfast was soon followed by lunch, where Kyle and I had worked our donation magic into getting free Applebees. After another free steak, I was having quite the good day.

Unfortunately, the day would not end well for everyone, as our group was heading for the UFO museum on the bus and were at the entrance when Sophie felt violently sick and nauseous. I agreed to take her to the ER that was close to the Denny’s/Hastings that we were at before. I spent the rest of the afternoon there with her, where she was given an IV for dehydration.

After finally being released after taking an IV bag of saline for dehydration, Kyle picked us up and I managed to put down a large amount of food at Sonic, and then later at the Italian restaurant where Sophie ate. Besides just being hungry, I also wanted to put down as much food as possible in case I happened to catch the bug that was preying on our group.
