At 29 miles we stopped for a barbecue chicken sandwich to share only because we felt we needed to even though we weren't very hungry. It was good barbecue and only $5.
Some of our route was swampy areas. Yesterday we passed alligator farms but did not visit. Today we expected to see alligators as roadkill but no such luck. We rode many miles along the St.John river and our hotel is right along the river.
A few other notes about yesterday: we experienced kindness of strangers when Tom gave us a ride from the rental car return to the bike shop. Augustine is the oldest town in our nation. The castle in yesterday's picture was Castillo de San Marcos which was an outpost of Spain completed in 1565. At Dinner last night the desert included bacon bourbon and pecans in addition to chocolate and caramel--only in the south! (did not try it)
This town has a statue of a Confederate soldier.
Tomorrow our goal is Gainesville Florida

Blue sky! So jealous!
Great views...&expert "reporting!" I'm you had a good first day of riding:)
Thanks for telling us about the BQ. YUM!!!! But something tells me this was not a heart healthy choice...jealous! I am also disappointed you didn't see any alligator road kill but then maybe that is a good thing as you wouldn't want them nipping at your heels like the local dog do chasing bikes.
Hello! It's great to see your smiling faces. We will keep you in our prayers. Have a fabulous trip!
