Today I decided to go for a short ride on the bicycle if for nothing else than to be riding before the end of the year.  It felt good to be on it.  All the broken bones and bruises seem to be healed as much as they are going to. More...

The weather turned plenty cold.  Made it to Charleston and on the way to North Charleston the traffic was bad and I got crowded at a railroad crossing causing me to not cross it perpendicular as I should have.More...

To say the least it was COLD this morning.  I waited around for a while before I got started hoping it would warm up but it was still only 35 degrees when I got going.  The ride wasn't too bad since the wind had died down a little and the terrain was mostly flat.More...

I ate at the hotel and then started riding but the cold weather was almost too much.  A local contractor named Mike saw me and gave me a ride from Exit 3 to Exit 26.  I hopped on the bike and started riding again.More...

This morning I hopped in the car, had breakfast, and headed northward.  I stopped by Ponce Inlet lighthouse and looked around there, taking a few pictures.  The lighthouse has 203 steps to the top and I climbed them all, even bought the patch saying that I did.More...

 Packed everything to leave Nassau on flight back to Miami and then looked around town a little more then made my way to the airport.  Have a good tip to save about $25 on taxi ride to airport to share later.More...

Sorry for my delay in posting but here is a brief list of events so far, will update all later.  Connections and trying to make connections have kept me busy.More...

I woke early and made my way to the ferry terminal at Potter's Cay where I bought my ticket and then waited to board.  After just a short wait we boarded and headed out.  The trip was nice and the colors of the water continue to amaze me.More...

Today I shopped around at the Straw Market and then went to Cable Beach and walked back to the hotel.  This allowed me a great way to see more of the island. 

The internet has been off most of the day yesterday and today but this is an island.

I have put together a rough plan for the next few days in case the connection is out anymore.  Right now I hope to catch a ferry to Harbor Island and stay there for a couple days and then return to Nassau on the 15th.  On the 16th I will catch a plane to Miami and pick up a rental car to be able to see more of the Everglades and Big Cypress National Parks.  I will then head north and see how the plans unfold then.  You can check out the share page at http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0TSm7h5vSsAoziekqbF4hvDJuKRbIJsDX to see where I am and if all is going as planned.  I plan to catch everything up as soon as connections and time permit so keep checking in.

Today I spent the day running around the sights here in Nassau and on Paradise Island.  I visited a couple of the forts and the Queen's Staircase.  There is a lot of history here and I encourage everyone to Google these to find out about it.

Then I headed to Paradise Island to see the Cloisters.  There were part of a 14th century French Monastery that were moved to the Bahamas.  It is always amazing to me to be touching and looking at something so beautiful and so old.  Across the street was Versailles Gardens that contained a beautiful collection of plants and statues.

I decided to try getting onto Atlantis beach and it was just a simple walk from Cabbage Beach onto the Atlantis property, and without paying the $35 they wanted in Atlantis.

I decided to go back as it got dark and was treated to a full moon as I crossed the bridge to Nassau.  One thing of note is that most restaurants and stores close at 7pm so be prepared to look around for an open one if you are running late.
