Rain drops & no roses

Ok, sleep in 'till 8:30 and it was a great sleep! Put on the coffee, have a couple of cookies, and I go out for a ride before the predicted rain arrives. There was supposed to be a launch of a satellite today, but if it went, we didn't hear it. I make a nice loop and get in 12 miles with a massive 200' of climb. KK stayed back at camp and read, facebooked & walked. Just as I get back , it starts to sprinkle, so I eat a sandwich, shower & off we go toward New Smyrna Beach. We were there years ago (25 to be exact) and got burned real bad, but probly not today, as it's raining pretty hard. We chose to take US 1, instead of I-95 & we see a lot of interesting places and things..parks, RV parks, old motels, the inter coastal waterway, birds. We make it to the beach & drive out Flagler Street & it is a downpour & windy. The surf is massive but no surfers are partaking. The bar across the street looks inviting, so over we go to The Breakers Bar for the "best burgers in central Florida!" A great view of the ocean & good drinks-a Mai Tai for KK & a cold draft beer for me,,at least. The burgers are FAB! We stay for quite a while and migrate into Happy Hour, just enjoying the afternoon. Then we head down the street to hit some of the little shops and sure enough, we find a "bird" or two (Flamingos!). At two different shops and even some chocolate wine. Back south to the camp & a purchase of a bigger blanket for the incoming cold night..supposed to be 35 wed night! Now we need to do some washing, so we load up the clothes and go to the KOA laundry & it takes a lot of quarters-$2 each load to wash. While we wait , KK reads and I am blogging..that's about it for the day..not too exciting but a good day for us travelers.
