Day 26, Tyler to New Ulm

Again another great day for an 87 mile ride. Good thing we started by
7am because the weather is getting hotter and more humid as we head
east.

This is a picture of a typical grain elevator along the railroad
tracks. It seems like small towns have some things in common.
Further west it was having a river and railroad track running through
town. Now it's grain elevators and railroads.

Evonne's parents came today from Iowa and brought some fresh corn on
the cob, watermelon and muskmelon. Oh was it good. We all miss our
fruit and vegetables.

We're staying at Martin Luther College in New Ulm today for a
restday. It reminds me of Hope College in Holland, MI. First things
first, laundry. After living out of a suitcase it's amazing how I
prioritize my needs. With laundry done and the German fest in town,
we headed downtown for a beer. Again being the lightweight, one beer
is all I need. Day 27 is the restday so I'll be back walking around
town to see what it's all about.
