Awake: 6:28 Temp 58 sleep 7+11 intermittent rain overnight @ Perry, GA.

Kathy makes sourdough pancakes with all the trimmings for breakfast.

Katrina calls en route to her church in Denver; she & Kathy talked about 20 min. Karina has been taken out of her foster home & transferred to a lockdown facility in CO Springs; Katrina will visit when she gets the OK from the social worker. Katrina is now in the market to buy a street bike as she likes to go with a group of riders who reject mountain bikes & she also wants to do a triathlon.

Late morning & early afternoon, K & I walk the fair grounds for exercise & to familiarize ourselves with the various buildings & fairground layout; about (2) hrs later, heavy rain chased us to a nearby tram & we rode that back to our motorhome.

Using our umbrellas, K & I walk to the Sheep Barn # 2 & attend 5:00pm Mass; this large building has a metal roof without any inside insulation & before Mass began, the rain came down so heavy, it was impossible to hear the priest using his microphone. So Mass was delayed for a good (20) min until the rain subsided.

Dinner: tuna casserole & a spinach salad.

We finish the movie: "Hunchback of Notre Dame" with Charles Laughton, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Thomas Mitchell, Maureen O'Hara, Edmond O'Brien, Alan Marshal, etc. Superb remake of Lon Chaney silent is even better than the original. Laughton as Victor Hugo's misshapen bell-ringer Quasimodo, is haunting & unforgettable. Magnificently atmospheric studio recreation of 15th-century Paris also a big plus. 1939. Fantastic story; engrossing throughout even for Kathy.

Generator run time - 6.1 hrs.

Lights out: 11:15pm.
