I want to thank the people who stopped, stayed with me until paramedics came on Saturday 7/6/2019. I had a very bad fall on rollerblades tripping on something between the concrete. Kate & Anthony who were so kind & helpful while I was on the phone with 911 dispatch Others on bicycles passing by I asked for help looked down said help & rode off. They waited with me & also made certain paramedics knew where to find me. Kate went out of her way to the parking lot as the dispatcher Ashley asked so they could know where I was lying hurt.

The train depot tour is quite brief, as there isnt really much to explain, but the history is interesting and the guides are enthusiastic. An interesting place for a short respite, but I...

I have run on both sides of the waterway, and the only downside is that the path tends toward boring -- straight and flat. I understand that this is the topography here in this part of Florida, so I didn't downgrade for that.
The path is maintained well, and it is open and seems safe. I was a little wary of the safety of my car where I parked behind some store next to Venice High School but it was ok.
Highlights for me included watching airplanes land...
