Day 172, Jan 13, 2017. Lakeland to Sun City Center, FL

Central Florida has a more lush look to it but the damn Spanish Moss is back.

Today being Friday the 13th, John and I have been having fun blaming it for anything we could. Sprinkling? Cars coming to close? Can't find a spot to stop for lunch? Left our detergent in Cocoa? No ground level room?... damn that curse!

Actually, it was a great trip today. The weather was overcast, but warm and the trip flew by. Yesterday's trip was exhausting for me. I am not sure why. It may have been because each of the tires were 30lbs low on pressure, a fluke or perhaps John wasn't pedaling :-). Whatever the cause, I felt better today.

Florida is one of the largest cattle producing states in the USA.

It is also great to be in a motel tonight, especially one with a laundry room. We spent the last two nights with Warm Shower hosts, while normally enjoyable, the last two were ...interesting. Tomorrow we head to Sarasota and our last Warm Shower host before we arrive in Punta Gorda at our friend, Jeanne's place.

Just when we were about to give up, John caught sight of picnic
pavilions. : )
