Today, a 60 miler to Surf City, was the first riding in some rain. We waited out the early morning rain but was caught just before our arrival into Wilmington, sight of the annual Azalea Festival within the downtown area. Our timing couldn't be better as many neighborhoods in Wilmington and else where have been dazzling with the colors of spring flowers. Today the humidity was definitely up just after the early morning rain, which then receded in afternoon when a steady easterly wind picked up. Unfortunately for us, that meant some headwinds. Highlights of the day is Wilmington and our visit with Paul and Brooke in Hampstead, daughter of Dick and Jan from home. One last thing I should mention, no-see-um insects is an issue along North Carolina coast so bring some protection. Itch, itch, scratch, scratch!
We say goodbye to Nancy whose tour ends in Wilmington. I'll miss my sister.
Kathy's search for discarded license plates have not been successful.
