The highway to the sea

is lined with many a tree. Today held smoth riding and warm weather, although a moderate headwind made it slightly tough. Much of the route was rural, but, happily, I was not chased by any dogs, leading me to think that Floridians are more considerate than Louisianians, whose loose dogs had made me so on edge that I stuck to major highways throughout the deep south. But I gotta say that folks from western and central Texas still take the cake for politeness and helpfulness! Now I'm in Gainesville, Florida, next to the University of Florida. Tomorrow I'll make a run for the Atlantic Ocean, which will be in reach unless this easterly wind strengthens.
