July 5 - Alexandria to Bowlus - 68 miles

We were on the trail for the whole day and although we had a head wind, it was easier than the previous day.  We stopped at a spot along the trail that was an antique shop and it reminded you of the TV show, American Pickers.  We mentioned that to the guy and he claimed that he was good friends with the guys on the show.  He had all sorts of old stuff.  We are taking a rest day in Bowlus and we are camping behind the church for two nights.  The priest has opened the church for us and a few guys are sleeping in the church.  We stopped at a few beautiful churches along the way.  Gothic style with beautiful stain glass windows.  It is amazing how such small communities can support these large churches.  Sunday is Bowlus's big festival and we have been invited to ride in the parade.  They also have a Polka Mass outside in the morning that will be interesting.
