Happiness is having bicycles

Seeing other grey nomads riding around on bicycles on the many cycle paths around Florida proved too much for us.  We had debated whether to get bikes but decided we would not get enough use out of them. Florida however is very flat and we are spending a month here waiting for winter to be over elsewhere in the US so we bit the bullet and bought two bikes at the pawn shop across the road from the bicycle shop that was fitting the bike rack for us.  It cost more than the two bikes combined :-)

Lake Kissammee SP has another beautiful camp ground.  These big trees are called live oaks because they are not deciduous, with new leaves coming through as the old ones die off.  Camp spots are very spacious underneath the trees with the sunlight filtering through.

A couple of wildlife shots below.

Red-shouldered hawk.

An armadillo.  The poor creature was dead at the side of the road.  They tend to be mainly nocturnal and we saw one at night but it is hard to catch sight of one during the day.  So we took a photo.
