Brandon and I left Rome early this morning with plans to attend a church service in Fairfield. Our plans didn't work out as we couldn't find a Fairfield church with an 11:00 service.

The Fairfield Hyvee--a supermarket chain store--was our next stop. Both of us decided to pay $4.99 for the salad and fruit bar. We gorged ourselves on incredibly fresh and delicious fruit, hearty soup, and salad. After making other purchases, we headed out into the furnace.

Once again, the air was very hot and humid. The Strollometer hit a new record of 122 degrees.

A motorist driving by stopped and gave us some ice cold bottles of water. His timing was perfect, and the water was greatly appreciated.

In the evening we wasted some time trying to find a house but eventually a nice man let us stay in his yard on the east side of Ottumwa, Iowa.

Our mileage today was just shy of 38 miles. All in all it was a tough and long day.
