Today was my favorite day of the trip so far. A lot of nice things happened today. We got to stop at a number of interesting destinations, eat some delicious food and have really nice ride. The ride was very easy and slated for only 53 miles so we knew we had plenty of time to stop at different places and so we did. We saw several lighthouses and rode a bit past our destination to see the Wright brothers museum at Kitty Hawk, which was very interesting. I did not know, for example, that after their first flight of 12 seconds they almost immediately performed 3 more the longest of which was 59 seconds. Makes it seem a lot cooler. They also had a replica of the original flyer and a lot more details such ad the story of them building a wind tunnel. We also had Duck Donuts for the first time - amazing. Fresh donuts. And then we had tropical drinks at a tiki bar overlooking the beach. All in all, a very awesome day. Tomorrow I ride another 93 miles.
