Luke got stung by a bee or something near his lip yesterday, but the
swelling had gone down by the evening. Overnight however, it started
swelling up again so this morning, we persuaded him to see a doctor
while we were still in a bigger town. He got a steroid shot and rode
in the truck for the first half of the day. Mike and I rode through
eastern Missouri before meeting up with John and Luke near the
Illinois border. There were less hills, the landscape was gorgeous and
there were less dogs- it seems higher income areas don't just have
nicer houses, but nicer dogs too! So coming into Illinois, we crossed
the Mississippi, and took pictures at the state line and the Popeye
statue in Chester, the home of its creator. We chose to head along the
Mississippi levee alternate route, not the main route, and enjoyed a
flat, quiet ride. Sadly, we'll leave Illinois behind in a couple of
days when we head into Kentucky- the only state I really dread riding
through!
