November 29: Day 26

Midway to Tallahassee
23 miles, 3 hours 6 minutes riding time

Today was a pretty frustrating day. We had a list of a couple of stores we needed to stop at but they all happened to be on the other side of town. After researching several search engines we had a plan for how to get across town. Best laid plans...once into town we ended up on a busy two lane road with no shoulder or sidewalk. Between that and Tallahassee's hills it was not a great day!

A comment on Tallahassee's hills - having grown up in Seattle I was still impressed with how steep they were let alone how many their were. It was interesting - one of the locals we talked to made a comment about how their hills "are uphill both ways" while another gave us directions and promised "just one hill on the way." There were three. Very steep, very long hills. He is so used to them he was oblivious.

We ended up getting what we needed and then got a hotel room on the south end of town. We even ended up having time to see a movie at the end of the day.
