Day 11 - 93 miles

Announcement: Melissa has gotten another shirt. She now has two shirts.
We woke up Thursday morning to the rain, and my tent was soaking wet. Lisa couldn't find her camera, which we could not leave behind for fear of disappointing you, our dear blog readers. One of Mel's mom's four dogs, three cats or one bird had mysteriously hidden it right in front of Lisa's face.
The major accomplishment for the day was the introduction of the pace line into our touring technique. Said technique would become increasingly important as we travelled west. We also discovered that eating on the side of the road improves our chances of going far.
We arrived in Tiffin, OH and stopped at the Kroger's to pick up some nutritious and delicous food (see previous post).
We camped out for the night in the backyard of Soni's Junction a mile and a half outside of West Independence, OH. Thanks to all of the folks at Soni's for making our time in their midst comfortable. Note in the accompanying picture the size differential between our tents. Guess which one's the heaviest and the least waterproof.
