August 24, 2007 -- Road-weary after several long road days and a lot of places visited, we decided to take a stand-down day, and just take it easy. Just as well, perhaps, as our Kiki decided to find a tummy-bug somewhere, and spent the day in lighter shades of pale... We bounced around in Rapid City, SD, catching up on shopping and laundry.
For all the stores and gift shops we have been into, we are starting to see a pattern, which I will call "SSDS" which stands for "same stuff, different store." Between "Native American art" (methinks made in the Orient) and Harley-Davidson / Sturgis related items, it becomes kind of predictable.
Oh, yeah, for those of you who are Harley buffs, this place is ground-zero for everything Harley. Sturgis, SD, is the Mecca of Harley-ites, and the big annual pilgrimage occurred a week before we got here (thank God!) but there are still quite a few hang-arounders to make heavy-metal thunder in the area. No helmet law here, so quite a few bare-headed Darwin-types expressing their individuality atop their American-built mounts...

KiKi, I hope you are feeling lots better today, you probably just needed to spend a day "catching up". Thanks for the postcards from all of you, I really enjoyed them! I bet you all are being "AWED" by Mt. Rushmore, look forward to hearing all about it and maybe a real picture??
Take care and Love to all.
