Day 8 - Columbia, SC to Newberry, SC

Last night the leaders changed the route so that the lunch stop would be at my Dad's house in Prosperity. Changing the course added about 8 miles or so to the total distance we had to ride today. We encountered a lot of hills and the temperature rose to almost 90 degrees. Translation: I sweat more today than I have thus far.
 I'm so thankful that my team, especially my leaders, have been so flexible and willing to tweak plans so that I am able to visit sites that are important to me, including my Dad's house.
Bike & Build SC2SC took over Lake Murray! Everyone keeps telling me that they had so much fun and that visiting my house/the lake has been the highlight of the trip so far. I'm really glad that my Dad and Nora were able to meet the team and show them some love by opening up their home and providing lunch for us.
Teryl, my good friend from home, came to lake day! So Erin, Erika, Teryl, and I snapped a photo before leaving my Dad's. 
The Catty Corner: At dinner tonight the topic of religion came up. It went well...
Sarah: "Who's that man on the stained glass?"
Mary: "Martin Luther."
Sarah: "Is he the same as Martin Luther King?"
Mary: "No. He led a sort of Christian reformation. Martin Luther King is named after him."
Sarah: "I don't know much about Christianity. But I'm interested to learn. How many divisions are there?"
Mary: *laughs so hard that food/drink come out of her nose* "When you say that I think of associations for professional sports teams like the NFL."
Sarah: *laughs* "Don't laugh at my ignorance."
