It was wonderful to have a rest day. Some of us don't know the meaning of rest and opted to kayak for four hours on the Wakulla River. It was so peaceful and beautiful, looking like a picture postcard of Florida. Our efforts were rewarded with sightings of alligators (some very close up), manatee (an endangered specie), turtles, and a huge variety of birds. It was our last rest day and Ellen, Mary, Hanna and I mused about what we would each be doing a week from now. I am sure I won't forget this day. Today (Monday) we biked 53 miles to Perry, Florida. It was a rainy day so we all just put our heads down and peddled as hard as we could for the hotel. After arriving, the weather cleared up nicely, then another storm cloud moved in and dumped all over again. Tonight we will eat our meal indoors to stay out of the rain.
