Think Stephen Foster. We left Titusville this morning for a short 230 mile trip to Perry which is close to the west coast. We paid $11 in toll road fees to get here but we did not encounter much traffic. Our last road was Highway 19 which brought us right into town and the motel we are staying at. We arrived after a short 6+ hour ride. We just are not motivated at 2:30 in the afternoon to set up a tent in 95 degree temperatures and high humidity and then sit around in the sun. So we paid an extra $25 and are in an air conditioned room at a motel with a pool that we have already used. I stayed at the KOA here with my friend Doug in October 2006 when we were going to Key West. He may not remember the KOA but he should remember the restaurant that we ate at. It was absolutely the WORST buffet either of us had ever been to. Today like then we stopped where Highway 19 crosses the Suwannee river and took pictures. We also threw crumbs into the river for the baby fish to fight over. There were also 2 very small turtles sitting on a log but the cookie pieces hitting the water scared them away. Tomorrow we will continue on to Pensacola and Friday we should arrive in New Orleans.
Una gita piccola oggi di 230 miglia. Solamente una pausa al fiume Suwannee. Questo fiume era fatto famoso nella canzone storico di Stephen Foster. Abbiamo cantato un po' quando erano qui oggi. Stanotte stiamo nel motel perche' siamo arrivati alle 14:30 e la temperature era 35 gradi e l'umidita era alta. Non vogliamo sedere nel campeggio sotto il sole ora dopo ora. Qui c'e una camera con aria condizionata e una piscina che abbiamo gia usato. Stasera leggeremo libri e rilassarci.
