 Today we cycle across small side roads parallel to the main street. There hardly isn’t any traffic, nevertheless we feel stressed by the unreasonably loud pick-up trucks. |
 Until lunch in Centralia the weather is fairly good. |
 Around noon, the weather’s becoming worse and the area slightly hillier. |
 The dark weather cares for a creepy mood in the forests. |

 Here in America we take our bikes into our room every night. In Europe we have never been allowed to do so. Given today’s motel room, I have the feeling that it’s actually not the bikes that are standing in our room but that we are sleeping next to the bikes in a garage. |
 Beer of the day: Pyramid Weizen. We have dinner at a truck stop at the Highway. I order a first beer and another one when ordering the food (burger with French fries). After that, the waiter tells me that this will be my last one. Policy of the house: only two drinks per guest. Strange customs here! But at least the food was good. |
