Sunday Oct. 31: Defuniak Springs to Tallahassee
We had a short ride today: just 44 miles. It was a pleasant ride from Dafuniak Springs. We started the day looking at the lake that is spring fed and is also a perfect circle. Some think the lake was formed after a meteor hit it back in woolly mammoth days.
Anyways, after about 3.5 hours, we made it to Tallahassee. We called Michael, our host, and met him at his house. Michael is my Denver friend’s brother. He invited us to go to The Rez, an outdoor play place for Florida State University students. He’s the president of an engineering club that is raising money to build a bridge in Peru, and today they were having a fundraiser volleyball tournament.
Jacques and I had a good time relaxing and watching some volleyball, and we even enjoyed a little kayak journey in the lake. When I saw a huge caged alligator while still in the kayak, I being from Kansas, decided to head for more solid ground. Jacques went deeper into the swamp, and I had come to grips that this would be the last time I saw Jacques as a whole person. Fortunately, Jacques didn’t meet any alligators, and he will be able to ride tomorrow.
We did a drive by of the Ludacris concert, but didn’t shoot anybody. To end the night, we had some good Chinese food and then hit the hay.
Tomorrow: Lake City, FL
