Today was a great ride. We had a cloud cover almost the entire day which kept the temperature down to a tolerable level. Instead of high 90's, it was mid 80's until we got to town. As you arrive from the west, you begin to experience a community which lives by tourism and the sea. You cross a bridge with the gulf to the south, and a cement barrier to the left which simulates the waves of the ocean. When you arrive on Seawall, the coastal road, you have miles of white beaches to the south, and hotels and restaurants to the north. The water was Mississippi brown. We were joined today by Waylon and Marge who rode in from Tyler, TX. We hadn't seen them for a couple years, and it will be a pleasure riding with them through Florida.
