Weather 70F/22C Breezy Sunny, cool at night 52F
Friday Our friends Bonnie and Jim from Wheatley are in Panama City Beach to watch their nephew run an Iron Man (which he finishes in 11 hours and 28 minutes). So we had our first company to visit for a couple of beers, sitting on the beach at our campground. Even though it is only 70F the sand is so bright and reflective that within an hour we took quite a bit of sun.
We have been talking to some people from California who have been traveling since August and she was telling me she was sewing a baby quilt for her granddaughter - Billy thought I was silly bring my sewing machine. Turns out I am not the only one!
Saturday We took a ride on the Harley east to Destin through more of the Gulf Islands National Seashore Park.
When the winds come up strong the drifting is just like our snow, the road is closed and they use payloaders to clear it. Apparently a few weeks ago it was shutdown for that reason for about a week. I guess wherever you live, sometimes you have to shovel !
Driving into Destin you have a beautiful view of the Marina from the causeway.
Staying on the shore road we continued on to the village of Seaside which has a building code to be kept in the old Floridian architecture and colours, it is lovely and pictures do not do it justice.
The ride was about 73 miles one way, so after a bite to eat we headed back to our campground. Found that as the sun was dropping it was almost blinding. Billy had on his super duper dark glasses :)
