  • I slept for fourteen hours Tuesday night which I really needed because I hadn't slept Monday at all.  I got up and had breakfast and then decided to go for a bike ride.  I left Solivita and took Marigold into Poinciana Parkway to Lake Hatchineha to Highway 27.  I stopped for snack.  Not the prettiest place I've ridden:
     

    I continued on the Hwy 27 to Hinson.  I don't know what this building in Haines City used to be but it's a Baptist College now.  It must be tallest building for many miles in every direction.  Note the cool sign for the fried chicken restaurant in front of it:

     

    I continued on Hinson to Hwy 17 to Johnson into Cypress Parkway.  This sign that I saw in front of a church is supposed to be a warning.  Why did I view it as an invitation??

    I continued on Cypress Parkway and back to Solivita.  It's much prettier than the surrounding country:

    When I got home my parents were at my Mom's softball practice so I got cleaned up and managed to get a shot of their Chihuahua Chica.  Here's Miss Chica at home in her drawing room:

    We got Chinese for dinner and it wasn't bad.  There are actually Chinese people in central Florida.  Who knew??
