Hobe Sound

The night's are getting hot. Too hot. Charlie hallucinated he was biking (think sleeping dog chasing a rabbit) and Ed spent considerable time stroking an arm that was not his. It was an awkward realization for all involved.

Another day of challenges, starting with a racoon eating Charlie's breakfast, then another strong headwind, then Port St Lucie, bug capital of America (see pic - guns may or may not kill people, but they definitely kill insects).

We'd like to thabk Brian McDaniel, who spent ten minutes on rt. 1 holding up traffic, trying to brainstorm a place for us to crash. Fifteen minutes later he called back with a rec for a great sushi restaurant. ??? www.brianmcdaniel.com

Things you don't ordinarily think, but do on this trip:

- is the bridge loopy?
- why is the only song in my head Hit Me Baby One More Time?
- this place looks classy; I'd like to go to the bathroom here
- can I have soup and a salad?
- the light from the taco bell should keep the gators away
- is there any way you could charge my phone?
- I don't think the beach ranger can see us
- Shell does a very nice breakfast
- we'll take one big bed if it's cheaper

  1. The heat is too intense. The bugs look to be a huge problem. Stay away from racoons (rabies). Wouldn't it be wonderful to come home now???

    Charlie, Joyce has offered you guys a place to stay and a good meal. She lives in Lantana.

    Love, Mom/Jan
