Day 9

Once again we started our day at 6 a.m. - stayed on the interstate for a ways east then headed south on Hwy 44 and then Hwy 27.

Florida is green...and lots of trees. Also lots of people.

Another good day for a ride.

I think anyone who travels to humid areas should do it the way we have...just flying in makes it seems much worse than it is. For us, riding at 90 degrees with humidity doesn't seem bad at all. Much better than 108 and no humidity!

We have a room in the Davenport, Florida area. Another Super 8, but a few steps up from the one we stayed at last night. This motel would be a recommendation. Funny how a NICE room near Disney World is half the cost of the crappy room we had in Riverton, Wyoming this time last year.

While we were in the pool a black bird with a long tail landed on the edge and got a drink - obviously no problem with chlorine. Then the bird started talking along the ledge of the pool and dipping its beak in the water...it was eating the bugs that had fallen in the water. Clever bird.

There are bunches of birds that look like egrets...with light brown on their wings. Kind of like Florida's version of pigeons!

It rained this afternoon after week got here...glad we covered the bikes.
