Cimena City
On the 2nd of july we took a lunch at cimema city and got out of the insane heat. After we had loaded our stomachs with oatmeal and chocolate sauce I ran into a little cafe to fill up on water...I was greeted by darrel and dave the owners like i was their long lost brother. freaked out at first by this out of the ordinary kindness I remained reserved about what I was doing there on a bike... after I talked to darrell for a bit about his cafe and how there where so signs out front advertising "Cafe" or really anything that made it resemble a cafe, he offered me some cinnamon rolls for the road....I was so delighted by his kindness, it would have made my day just by the rolls and some water. As I was packing up my bike darrell and dave came out with a full lunch for us, they had just made fresh is the seconds while we where preping to leave....and insisted that we go to his house across the road and take showers and relax for the remainder of the day. We gave it a whole 2 seconds of thought before accepting this generous offer... That night we where fed everything from pastries huge plate of diner and 1/4 of a pie each with ice cream, we couldnt help but to have these hideous perma-grins.. it had been so long sustaining ourselves on pasta and oatmeal we did'nt even know what to think...
The next morning still full from the night before we went into the cafe to thank them for all of their hospitality, and yet again where treated with a truck drivers portion of food and a lunch for the road.... I have never met anyone so content on what they do for a living than those two guys. I will forever be in debt to them not only for the food for the great company....Thanks Darrell and Dave fot being so Freekin nice....

I feel like I'm some sort of imposter noting here. . . seeing as I'm not family or in any way related to you. But I figured either way I'm imposing. But yes, Happy 4th of July! When I was in Canada they had Thanksgiving and no one seemed to really know why. Not that I complained, I got two thanksgivings, which meant two thanksgiving meals. Mmm. Anyway, best of luck to you guys.
