OUR LAST WEEK!!

 On our day off yesterday I went to the Edward Ball Wakulla State Park.  The park contains the Wakulla River which is formed from a spring.  The photo above shows how clear the water is and the boat that we went on for a tour of the river.  Edward Ball owned the land and built a lodge which is still in use.  The State of Florida purchased the land from him.  The lodge sits on limestone cave system.
 There are turtles everywhere.
 One of 5 alligators we saw from the boat.
 People have lived on this site for 15,000 years.
Today we rode 51 miles from Crawfordville to Perry,  Florida.  The ride was flat and straight on Route 98.  We stopped at a gas station for chicken wings.  It is a nice change from our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
We ate at Mama's Italian Restaurant tonight and had a delightful time.  The owner made sure that we all had good food and great service.
We have 3 more days of riding before we arrive in St. Augustine.
It is hard to believe we started almost two months ago in San Diego.
