Wednesday, April 11

Up early today! The weather is cool, sunny and breezy! We have breakfast, bike to the beach for a walk, and bike back to the campsite around 11:00. We are on the road to meet Keith and Luce for lunch by 11:30.

We take the A1A north. It is a beautiful drive, busy at this end, but then the road opens up and follows the coast through Pointe Vedra, past Sawgrass Golf Course and into Saint Augustine. There are some beautiful homes along this route. I admire especially the gardens and the old twisted live oaks that stretch out over the road. There are also beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean.

We arrive early at Aunt Kate's, so we walk to the end of the pier and talk to a fisherman there. This restaurant is on the Intercostal Waterway. It is sheltered from the wind here, and the sun is warm. Finally. . .warmth!

Keith and Luce arrive around 1:00. We have a long leisurely lunch and catch up on the news. It's great to see them!

We say good-bye around 3:00, and return to Hanna Park. More bike riding and beach walking! Can't get enough of it!Read more
