The day started off right with a solid breakfast from the church man. We talked cycling and bike trips and he was just an all around good dude. Very nice guy and he even gave me a bunch of energy gels and bars on my way out (he has millions). This could have been the most comfortable stop to date. I've been thinking about those milkshakes all day.
I'm also finally out of Florida and into Alabama. You were good to me Florida, I'll never forget you. I crossed a ferry through the gulf and it was weird seeing all the oil platforms. Bunches of them, full of oily oil. Mmmm, I wish they were pumping olive oil instead, yum. Update: turns out it is natural gas and not oil... Wish it was olive gas.
Staying under a random guys house tonight which is nice. There is internet, a hammock and I'm under a house so if anyone wants to get in the house I can charge them a toll like a troll. Profitable stay if the foot traffic picks up.
Watched some of the baseball game at the pelican pub tonight but it got out of hand fast so I left for sleep. Rowdy little town bar though, not a bad place but I'm always thrown when they allow smoking inside.
