So today began very smoothly. We slept in, had breakfast and left the motel for downtown Williston. It's a tidy little community with many services, but like so many other places it has been hit by the recession. Paul left me at the the Bent Pin Quilt Shop and I was surrounded by what I love most...............tons of great fabric.
And better than that, with people who shared my love of quilting.
In fact I spent the entire day here while Paul was a few blocks away at the Amtrak Station. He spent the day breaking down the tandem and packing it in a box designed for a single.
With an excellent sense of fitting 2lb of stuff into a 1 pound space -and through the judicious use of zip ties- he organized the bike to fit!
At any rate, we were supposed catch a train ride in a car similar to this at 7:09, but for some reason the train isn't expected to be here until 10PM. So we will be hanging out in Williston instead of enjoying the rolling hills of North Dakota. We will let you know how sleeping on train goes.
