We had a short day today only having to ride around 30 miles into Palatka, FL. There were lots of detours and fruit stands along the way, and we were determined to make the most of the day. We crossed the St John's River and had lunch sitting on the dock of a beautiful local park. After exploring the area and going on a mural tour around town we met up with our hosts, St Monica's Catholic Church. They provided us with the most incredible spaghetti and meatballs I've had in a long time.
We talked with a bunch of members of the church throughout the evening and I couldn't get over how much pride they had for Palatka. Their sense of community is so strong and shines through in their efforts to restore the historic district of the town.
We were on a cruise this date, but just have to say...
