I spent this rainy day in the library till they closed at 5 PM, and at the same time the rain stopped. I messaged to Barbara that I was taking off, and left towards Bolton. That what I thought, but, in fact, I started moving the opposite direction. I noticed it when the landscape started to look too familiar. Well, the decision came quickly: pedal the nice part of the trail, and get a ride once on the road, to come to Barbara a bit earlier than the middle of the night, even she was ready to fetch me from somewhere. One man gave me a ride from Canterbury to Willimantic, even he wasn’t going too far. I asked him to call Barbara and say, where exactly and when he is going to drop me in Willimantic, so Barbara could fetch me. He waited with me and helped us to attach my bicycle to Barbara’s car.

Hot shower. Sweet cherries and much other stuff in Barbara’s house. Sweet dreams on a soft warm bed.
