Titusville to Vero Beach 118km 115m vertical climb.

As we were about to leave our motel this morning a German couple rode by and stopped to chat.  They were touring the USA and had started in San Francisco.  They rode down the west coast to San Diego and then used public transport to get to Houston.  They were stopped from riding across Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas by the extreme heat wave in the US.  They will ride to Key West and then go back up the Caribbean coast.  They are mostly camping.
We rode inland today on US route 1.  With a north wind behind us we got to our destination, Sebastian, about 3 pm.  We bypassed the first bunch of motels on the north side of town and then had trouble finding a hotel near the south side of town.  When we finally found the hotel we were looking for they had no water.  Because of the strong north wind we kept on riding to Vero Beach where we are all cleaned up and waiting for my old colleague Gary to arrive with his wife so we can go out for the evening.
