| Cross-Country Ramble 41: It
is Finished! Sent: 04/12/98
 Last
night, we stayed just outside St. Augustine.
This morning, we woke to bright sunshine, cool dry temperatures
in the low 70's and a tailwind that took us into St. Augustine in
plenty of time for Easter services. We took a little time to walk
around this oldest continuously occupied city in the US.
Finally, early in the afternoon, we biked the last five miles
eastward to St. Augustine Beach, where we rode down to the beach,
sprinkled our bikes with Atlantic Ocean water and spent a few
moments telling a few slightly-interested bystanders that we'd just
finished our cross-country journey.
We checked into our motel, cooled a split of Champagne, and drank
it out of plastic glasses we found in our room.
Suddenly I'm exhausted.
