Day 33: the first Dutch Mecca

On Friday, day 33, we headed into Pella, Iowa.  It was a short ride, (84km) some of our faster friends stooped to our level and rode with us. 

Of major significance today was that we hit our halfway point for mileage.  Amazing, when you think about it.  These people are amazing too. 

We arrived in Pella to a warm reception from the many CRC and RCA churches there.  If you've never heard of Pella, that's okay.  Typically only other Dutch/CRC/Calvin people have heard of it.  

We ate donuts, had free laundry at the college and worshiped with some local churches.  And we played at a local bike shop.
