I guess it's all part of the adventure! Our famous saying as things happened along the way, but we didn't expect it to be something like this!
Russ & Denise at the Atlantic Ocean
Mike & Dawn and the tandem at the Atlantic Ocean
We headed out to the local farmer's market in the morning. Mike and I had to find a place to receive a fax as we had a $14,000+ charge on our credit card we had to deal with. Russ and Denise headed to town to see the lighthouse and the Castillo de San Marcos. We took care of the fax and headed for the lighthouse. Denise wanted to go to the Alligator Farm w/us as Russ didn't want to go so she kept in touch. She called from the Castillo to say she had fallen and messed up her gearing so was riding in a very low gear, but was OK. We were at the light house headed for the Castillo. She headed for the Alligator Farm w/o Russ. We went to the Castillo and were not quite finished seeing it when she called to say that Russ had fallen at Lions Bridge and was hurt. We headed that direction, but didn't see Russ. The bridge opened for 2 sailboats and when it closed we saw Denise on the other side. She headed for Russ and we peddled our you know whats off to get the car. We convinced them to call an aid car to take Russ to the hospital. Mike headed out in the car and picked up Denise and their bikes. After a few xrays, etc. it turned out that Russ had two compound fractures on the hip he had had replaced a few years ago from a different bicycle accident, but didn't need surgery. Denise got a motel room and rented a car. Russ gets discharged on Monday, 5/3 and they will fly home to Yakima on May 5th.
