Over to Apalachicola for a weekend of chainsaw action, but we managed to take time out for some coffeeneuring. On to the particulars:1. where: Cafe Con Leche, Apalachicola FL
2. date: 10/26/2018
3. what: plain ol' latte, buncha foam on top
4. ride details: Beautiful fall day in the FL Panhandle. Rode the '89 GT Karakoram; that bike's no stranger to hurricane season. As always, click to embiggen the picture.
5. mileage: 2.2 miles round-trip.
As with last year's trip to CcL, rode with my sister this time. You can see her 100% stylin' Schwinn in the background. Apalachicola's looking a little rough after Hurricane Michael, but nothing like our neighbors to the west, Port St. Joe and Mexico beach. Still lots of clean-up going on, and I was glad to have a break with some real coffee to speed along the chainsawing.
ps: If you click on the picture, you can see where the coffee shop's railing along with its supporting bricks have peeled away from the porch. Just on the other side of the railing is Water Street, which was flooded about 4' deep during the recent hurricane. Coffee shop and its neighbors stayed dry, while a friend's shrimp house across the street didn't. Neither did the row of shops on the next block north. Also, on the left in the distant background, you can see the Hwy 98 Apalachicola River bridge.
