Where’s the Gulf

We rode 52 miles from Panama City to Destin, much of it very near the Gulf.  However, between fog most of the morning and a lot of ocean front development, we didn’t have many views of the water.  Fortunately, we had bike lanes or trails most of the way and met up with Ken and Nancy at a crucial spot. Several riders missed a turn they pointed out to us and did have to ride in traffic.

We are definitely in tourist territory.  I don’t think the hurricane is responsible for this building.  About five miles west of Panama City, we realized that we were no longer seeing storm damage.

  

The tourists weren’t renting many bikes on a foggy day.

Best treat so far, a chocolate sea salt mammoth doughnut!  And we shared some excellent key lime pie at dinner.  Makes for a good day.

We passed this sign last week outside Gainesville.  Much to my regret, I was in too much traffic to stop for the photo, and I just remembered to ask Nancy to share hers.
