A day at the beach

It was really warm when we woke up today - 60 degrees. We had a late breakfast outside. This is the first breakfast we have had outside in a long time. It was very nice. Did I say nice? It was very nice. We really took our time getting moving and just enjoyed being out there.

We decided that it would be better to drive our bikes to the bike repair place than to bike there and wait. Good idea. They said that they would have them by the end of the day. So no biking today.

We tried to go to the recommended place for lunch but we walked in and the smell of fish was overpowering. Bob absolutely could not handle it. So we decided to try another recommended fish place and it was closed on Wednesdays. (Bob had joked on the way that it was going to be closed. He was right and felt guilty for jinxing it.) We had lunch at an Italian place. They had puttanesca but it was not as good as Bob's. The waitress spent a lot of time with us and told us that she is pregnant. She told us a lot about the area and we enjoyed talking to her. There is a jazz band playing there on Saturday night. I told Bob I was going and he could go or not go, it was up to him.

We got our stuff together and headed for the beach. It seemed sunny and warm and we couldn't bike so beaching seemed like a good idea. As we were gathering our stuff the manager of the campground told us to bring jackets because it is often cool at the beach. Wrong. It was sunny and very warm. I put on a bathing suit but Bob just sat in his shorts. We stayed for about two hours and felt toasty. I wandered into the water and cooled off. We were on the Cape side so it was very calm and very warm and there were almost no waves. The kids were playing in the water and having a grand time. The parents were getting hot and irritable. Interesting.

There is so much that I want to do here. The manager of the campground tells me that it will be full this weekend and very busy. I can only assume that the whole place will be packed. So we are trying to decide what to do when there are not many folks and what will be good when the place is packed. Amazingly the beach was almost empty. That was fine with me.

Picked up the bikes and they are repaired and ready to go. We were both so tired out from the sun that we just sat at the site. The breezes started up in a short time and I thought that I had died and gone to heaven. Bob keeps saying that this is what he has been looking forward to doing. I hope that the weather stays this nice. (They are predicting some thundershowers tonight but sun in the afternoon.) Tomorrow will be a biking day in the afternoon I think.
