Each time I saw one of the neighbors, I was sure to … Continue reading Southern States Tour – Day 36

We then rode … Continue reading Southern States Tour – Day 35

It is nice to not have to go somewhere all … Continue reading Southern States Tour – Day 33
Today started with coffee and then a session of Yoga on the Beach. I think this was the first time I’ve taken a yoga class outside. Being on the beach was pretty cool. The classes are held at Fort Zachary Taylor State Park. The price of the class includes entry into the park for the day (keep your receipt, you’ll need it for re-entry to … Continue reading Southern States Tour – Day 32
