We left Key West around  7:30 am riding North on US 1 then onto FL. 997. Later turning on to 27 N @ Pembroke Pines, FL. then that was  when the gates opened up and rain began to fall.  After a slight delay we made a short run to Weston to grab some lunch and let the rain go  through. Decision was made to suit up  for what lied ahead and it  wasn’t a little ways down the roads we were glad that we did. Just North of Venus, Fl. the Skies started to clear and the  Sun raised it’s head. It wasn’t long  before we had to peel off  our rain suits. Just north of Avon Park, FL. we turn north on 98 to Lakeland for the night.   While riding today I notice that the  landscape looked the same in many ways but at the same time different. Made me think that we as people where created equal in God’s eyes but yet we are still different. The next time  we look at someone different lets try to see them through the  eyes of Jesus and we won’t be disappointed. Mileage today was 376.
