Not much to report about riding today because I basically just got down to business. Business riding, business like. Short day also so just kind of did it. Fun fact about Defuniak, it is home to the second roundest lake in the world apparently. It is definitely a round lake, spring fed of course. Very nice little town, there is an old library and everything.
I did run into some people going the other direction while riding, a couple on a tandem bike and another guy who was on his first tour. He was just using Google so I told him about the maps I have, should help him out in the future. I saw what looked like another touring bike outside of the library in town but didn't track them down. Proof I'm not crazy.
BBQ: Had the barbeque sampler from 4-C barbeque in Defuniak. It was pretty really good but the ribs fell off the bone too easily, knife and fork ribs. Pork and brisket were also really nice, good eatin' I tell yah boy. When I took a photo of my meal the manager walked by and yelled, "Yeah, take a photo of that delicious 4-C barbeque to remember forever and to tell your friends. Send it to your friends and tweet it and put it on Facebook." I feel bad about taking food pictures but I have to do it, barbeque diary.
Today also marks the first Mexican food I've eaten which was also good. The dream is starting to come together. Barbeque and Mexican food, it's all happening. I want all the food, all of it.
