Miles Today 0 Total 3648
A very slow and relaxing day. I have a cold of some sort so I was glad of the day off the bike.
We started out with a walk along a nature trail. On the way there we stopped in a delightful cafe for some breakfast. I had a breakfast thing with sausage and egg whilst Karen had a very tasteful Blue Crab and Spinach quiche.
We then strode of to the nature trail expecting some wild life and was presented with this.
 |
| Wohoo... this could be good.... |
 |
| Believe it or not this was the track of the oldest railway in the US. Part of the Atlantic to Gulf of Mexico railway. Now a sand trail with no wildlife - except bugs and bushes of course., |
It turned out to be a disappointment and the only life we saw were a few birds, a few jumping fish and a load of labels identifying trees and bushes.
 |
| Where is everybody !!! |
We strode back into the City (you know, the one with 16 streets !) and after getting some shopping found a bar overlooking (and actually over) the Bay of Mexico. I am being cheeky. It is actually a lovely place and we are both glad we booked in for two nights.
 |
| One of the backwater rivers. |
 |
| And a dicky bird. A Hudsonian Godwit - we think ! |
 |
| Sangria mmmmm |
 |
| This cheeky chap started pinching the bar peanuts. A Common Grackle. |
After a couple of sangria's it was back to the motel only to find this cute beastie adorning the porch.
 |
| Shrek ? ... For you I could be ! |
A gobby youth in the street sees a cat licking is genitals. He says to his mate "I wish I could do that". His mate says "If you ask him nicely, I'm sure he will let you".
Moving swiftly on.... Tomorrow, its off Northeast towards Tallahassee.
