Over the Apalachicola River, into the eastern time zone and through the city of Chattahoochee, FL Mr. Alford and his illustrious wife Jenny continued their adventure through the Alligator State into the lands claimed by Juan Ponce de Leon for the Spanish Crown in the year 1512.

Through the town where the legendary musician Ray Charles called home,  Mr. Alford and Jenny pedaled against the waning sunlight of short days and over the Atlantic Intercoastal Waterway with great anticipation of reaching the Ocean that covers 20% of the World's surface.

Mr. Alford currently stands near gates made of coquina that contain the oldest European settlement in the United States and the city that served as the capital of Spanish Florida for over two hundred years.  Mr. Alford and Jenny have packed their bags and will soon be flying south into the summer of the southern hemisphere.

Can you guess Where in the World is Mr. Alford?  Submit your answers at the Brookside Library and Mr. Rodgers will soon be drawing a name for a great prize.  As always, Mr. Alford would like to remind his students and colleagues to get at least 60 minutes of exercise each day as physical fitness opens your life to a rich and wonderful variety of experiences!
