Wakulla Springs to Perry, FL - 54 miles

Today, I didn't have any of those problems (like heat, humidity, insects)...it just rained all day. Actually, I do not mind riding in the rain. It's the trucks that blast by us that is annoying. When they go by, it's like getting hit with a fire hose. In the last few miles of our ride, it poured. We arrived at the Hampton Inn looking like drowned rats just soaked to the bones. The staff here was so kind to us. They greeted us with towels and served us wine and chocolate covered strawberries before dinner.

I can't believe we have three more days of riding. I am looking forward to coming home.

SUNDAY, APRIL 27TH
Wakulla Springs - REST DAY
I have to confess that the roads here in Florida have been very good. The weather has been hot and humid. I have been getting eaten alive by "noseeums." They are tiny little critters that fly around and bite you like mosquitos except they are hard to see, thus they are called "noseeums." They look like tiny flakes of dandruff.
