1989 HH Postcard -May1


5/1/89 Destin, FL  (our revised overnight stop)

When we rode into FL it was so cloudy & wet (a heavy rain last night, we stayed dry, but the sound effects were too close.)

Visited the P.L. in Fort Walton Beach -- doubt if M.V. made that stop.

Tonight they bussed us out to this Episcopalian retreat (called Fisher of Men) -- very pretty spot right on the lake & a great breeze.  The sun did come out this P.M.

The blue on the bike gloves fades badly when they are wet & then everything I touch turns blue.  It seems like it takes forever to get the hands clean again.  The white socks are also hard to keep clean -- oil from the chain, etc.  Peaches these are some points to recall before you leave on your bike safari.  Ahem.  Anyway hope we can have more May Days like 1954 than 1989.  The wind here reminds me of the picnic w/ the Zooks on Lake Erie.  Read items in WSJ where the new hotels in downtown Toledo are having a tough time making it. 

[Love, HH]
