The First Day. May They All be as Sweet.

75 degrees, can't argue.
15 mph head wind, a cause to complain once.

The French cafe I wandered into, unbelievable.  Real French pastries, great coffee, quiche and cheap.  Of course, the other cyclists seating next to me began a conversation that ended in cycling together up the coast.  What a wonderful mode of transport, lucky finds and good company.  Then up to Deb and Bob Merion's parents (see the pictures) for a meal with a bed.  Again great company and delightful digs and dinner. 

People are so kind and generous and cycling provides the opportunity for the warm give and take.  Today, just my first day and already filled with the joy of touring.

  1. Bob,
    If you head up the coast past vero beach make sure you ride through the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refugee http://www.fws.gov/pelicanisland/ just south of Sebastian Inlet State Park. Lisa and I have spent a lot of time there and the views are wonderful
