Country Roads to Danville VA


Day 3
June 9, 2019
Had an early wake-up call from Zoey.  She talked to Todd a bit and asked him how long to cook a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit for.  She seemed happy but I know she misses him; called him two or three more times – well hangout face time.  We packed and left the hotel around 8 AM heading for Danville, VA about 189 miles.  Heading out of Williamsburg we were on route 31 and suddenly the road stopped at the water’s edge and we had to board a ferry to cross the river.  Pretty cool – stayed in our vehicle for the 2.5-mile trip.  Then for most of the ride we were on 40 which is a very nice back road with lots of hills and curves.  Great on the bikes.  It is still raining; not hard but enough that it would have been miserable on bikes.  Stopped once for a rest on 85 and then arrived in Danville around noon so we grabbed lunch at McD and then tried to find a Walmart.  All they have here is a Walmart Neighborhood Market which we found out to be only groceries.  Next, we headed for our hotel which is very nice, but I had booked on booking.com a room with 2 beds and when the reservation came to the hotel it was a room with 1 king bed.  And the hotel is full – in fact ALL the hotels for 100 miles are full so I understand.  The lady at the front desk was so nice and I’m not sure what she switched but she got us a room with 2 beds, and it is very nice.  At lunch I realized I didn’t have my grocery credit card.  Not like me to lose a card.  When we got in the room, I checked the account and the last charge was to Pat’s Pizza.  I just called them and yes, it is there.  The manager said Shawn can pick it up, so I just texted her; I know she and Zoey are at the movies but hope she calls me soon.  She called and yes, she went and got my card.  Zoey was excited to tell us about the movie.  And then they were going to get ice cream and oh the cone she got!  Large covered with sprinkles. We went to Medos for dinner.  A small local Italian diner; didn’t look like much on the outside but my goodness the food was so good.
