Today was a true rest day.
The major system that has pounded the Florida panhandle also dumped a lot of rain here. So, since our Motel 6 is not exactly in the centre of town, or close to the FSU campus, most of the day was spent just hanging out. It's not like I had a great urge to go riding anywhere in the rain.
It's hard to believe the places we rode through just a few days ago have suffered the damage we've seen on the news. We may be faced with some flooded roads in the next couple of days, but it looks like the rain will be moderate, and the threat of thunderstorms and tornadoes has diminished. We wonder how the other tour group following a week behind us are going to fare. I imagine their leaders are constantly reviewing route options.
It's hard to believe tomorrow is May 1, and we only have five days left. Much of the past seven weeks is a blur, and even when someone mentions a particular town or stopover, I have a difficult time picturing it. I'm thankful I've been consistent with this posting, as it will be my memory trigger.
Yesterday was a bad day, but I'm confident the remaining days, rain soaked or sunny, will be a positive experience.
Finish strong!
