Getting out of Dallas was tough, but overall the team had a great day! The roads and traffic were rough at first, but once we had left the city it was smooth sailing. We finished the 55 miles by 11 this morning, and had lunch with the Lion's Club at the Episcopal Church here in Terrell (the Episcopalians have treated us very well along the way). The Lion's Club treated us with chicken fried steak and chicken, cream corn, mashed potatoes, and rolls. It was a fine display of Southern hospitality. Afterwards, we headed a block down the street for a friendship visit with some awesome little kids. It went great! We performed Kids on the Block, our puppet show that helps teach kids that disability doesn't mean inability, and gives them the opportunity to ask questions the puppet. I play Mark Riley, a new kid on the block with Cerebral Palsy. The kids and myself really enjoy it. Later, we had another friendship visit/dinner at the Terrell State Hospital. We all had some burgers, played volleyball, and met some cool new friends. Lodging tonight is a Motel 6! A bed always beats a gym floor. Tomorrow is our last full day in Texas!
