Day 1 on the road

43 miles
11 mph aver.

Last night the rain woke me up.  I laid awake thinking of what needed to be waterproofed and if I should change the route for a more direct way.  After getting up at 7:30 and walking outside the rain had stopped but it still looked cloudy.  We pulled out at 9:45 with a few sprinkles but that was it.  The sun would come in out the rest of the day but no rain.  It has been cool though, with the high today 65.  We also had our head wind for the last 20 miles but it all in all it was a good day.

We arrived at the room after eating lunch around 2:00.  We dropped off our stuff and headed back out.  Susan toured a few shops while I sat on the benches and catnapped.  We did manage one exciting moment though.

After pulling up to another  shop Susan’s credit cards fell out of her travel pocketbook.  She check and one was missing.  We hopped back on the bike to go back to the last store she was in.  While riding back, about a half mile down the road, I spotted the card lying face up on the side of the road.  We did a quick U’y and she rescued it.  Now she zips up the pocket she puts them in. Duh.

Tomorrow we will send the day exploring the Island and going to the beach.  It was a good day.
