TT Orlando Update

Our stay at TT Orlando continues. Since our last update, we've survived the coldest temperatures since our arrival in FL back in late November. Lows in the morning reached the mid-20s in some nearby spots. There citrus, strawberry and other crops were protected with water sprays that put a light coat of ice on the plants to protect them from a hard freeze. According to the reports, there was minimal damage

We have had a couple of days of good bike/trike riding on the West Orange Trail. On Saturday we rode with a couple of recumbent friends, Phil Mix and Paul Giglio, beginning at the Killarney Station. We ate lunch at the Winter Garden Pizza (see the picture). Note the description of the trail on the picture. On Sunday we returned to the trail after attending church and getting a bagel at Panera Bread in Clermont. Audrey rode 20 miles on the trail and I rode 40.

On Monday Pat & John Lively surprised us with a phone call and asked us to join them for an hour without telling us where we were headed. See the picture to see where they took us. What a pleasant surprise. Can you tell by the picture we are at Dairy Queen?

Yesterday (Tuesday) was a work day. Four hours were spent on the roof of the coach - washing, waxing the cap sides and ends and applying UV protectant. Glad to have the job finished. The next task is waxing the coach. While I was on the roof, Audrey cleaned the inside of the coach - dusting, washing and vacuuming.

All for this time. Stay tuned for the next update.
