| Bike Week in Daytona! |
March 11-12
We traveled from New Smyrna Beach to Halifax Harbor Marina in Daytona Beach. Not only is it Spring Break for many colleges, but it is also Daytona Bike Week! This is a motorcycle event held annually in this area for over 70 years! Around 500,000 bikers from all over the world come to show off their bikes and have fun! I found out that this is a well organized event with races, concerts, street festivals, vendors, rallies, etc.! We avoided the main street where most of the action was, but we saw and heard plenty of Harley-Davidsons and motorcycles! They are loud!It seemed that most of the bikers we saw were around our age!

| Barbara and me! What a coincidence! |
Another fun thing happened, proving it really is a small world! We met a couple from Lexington, Kentucky, Joe and Barbara Huber, who are on their boat named Balahula and are doing the Loop! Karl and I grew up in Lexington. When I mentioned my Mother's name, Barbara exclaimed, "of course I know Isabel Yates!" It turns out they recently worked together on a campaign for the newest mayor of Lexington. Barbara is in the advertising and marketing business and my Mother is a well known politician! We enjoyed spending the afternoon together, exchanging Lexington stories.
