It's always great to visit with old friends. They were so generous with their home and friendship. As with most Florida homes, they had a pool which was a blessing for my hot, achy body. One of of the quirks about Florida is that they have lakes and ponds everywhere. They are not swimmable, not a one! Why? Chomp, chomp. You guessed it, alligators. From a cyclist's point of view, this is tantamount to torture. Every so often, someone gets too close and is taken by a gator. Yet I also hear that the locals continue to swim in them. ?????????

| I got off the main highway onto this beautiful county road. This is a view of a sod farm. Everyone wants grass instead of the sand or scrub that they have naturally. |

| Got back to the ocean. This area had less grand homes. They were mostly on the other side of the road but all had docks and/or screened in sitting rooms. |

Another view of today's most beautiful spot. This is across from Cape Kennedy. There was supposed to be a launch on the 19th but it has been delayed.
81 miles today. Total mileage 332.
