After dinner in the State Park next to the Suwannee River
Today we spent about equal time in restaurants and on the road. Second-breakfast lingered on to early lunch at "The Rare Door" in Montecello (pron. with the c as an s [sic]) which served food and atmosphere that was pleasantly common. Then an afternoon trip to a Mexican restaurant turned into a couple of beers and extended good conversation. It is hard to expend the effort to power ourselves down the road knowing that every peddle stroke pushes us closer to our destination.
Today was day 61 of the trip and a bit under 3000 miles completed. With only 4 days to go all thoughts are turned to finishing. Some in the group are feeling ready to finish and others not. I am in both camps. Each person has had a different experience, and each person will feel differently riding into St Augustine.
For now it seems easier to stop in at the cafe and imagine that ordering another cup of coffee with somehow prolong the inevitable.
