Tonight Barb and I are in Ponce de Leon, Fl after a good day's ride.  We did 70 miles with a start in overcast skies and great roads.   Had a second breakfast in Marianna at a local diner, and then pushed on down the road.  Ate lunch at Chipley and only  stopped briefly for drinks and a moment's respite until we reached Ponce.   We sat down for supper at a the local eatery, staffed remarkably by one waiter and one efficient cook serving about 15 customers with a charming aplomb. Then we made our way to the only hotel in town to clean up and settle in.

We're generally in great condition, but riding in the rain and heat has left us both with a few tender spots on our feet.  It's nothing serious, but we both spent extra time tonight cleaning and pampering them as much as possible.

Tomorrow we'll finish riding the first of the seven sets of maps and will begin on the second one.  More than 400 miles behind us and 2700 still to go.
