Great breakfast sendoff from Melbourne with Mary and Jim. Without asking anyone's advice, I decided that it would be simpler to take the Florida Turnpike to Rte 1 and ultimately Key Largo instead of mixing with the commoners on I-95.
So I hooked up with the turnpike at Ft. Pierce. I guess it was better, but there were some delays. Anyway, finally exited on Route 1. Lots of construction slowdowns here, too--but there is no alternate route ...
Found my motel, the Pelican [a k a Hungry Pelican], near the 100 mp. I'm staying in the Helicon. They have complimentary kayak/paddleboats. Met two gals from Toronto, we had our own "sunset festival," hope to see more of them tomorrow.
FYI--the milepost numbers grow smaller as you head toward Key West. So I'm still 100 miles away.

Great photo! I just stared at that and my blood pressure dropped. Keep 'em coming!
