Condos,condos,condos, condos, condos

Staying tonight in Jupiter Beach, FL.
Today's mileage:63
Cumulative elevation gain:498 feet
Weather:75-85, cloudy, rain, sunny: perfect biking weather!
Attitude: Tired but happy

And here's what we saw today: CONDOS, CONDOS,CONDOS, CONDOS, CONDOS, beach, CONDOS, CONDOS, CONDOS, CONDOS, RICH PEOPLE HOUSES, beach. It's too bad that Florida has not seen fit to have more public beach access. And even where there weren't condos,most of the time the view was obscured by trees.

We are riding mostly right on A1A, and quite a bit of the time there is a bike lane. Started out in clouds and got rained on a bit, but never enough to don a raincoat. Most of us found a Starbucks this afternoon for cold drinks and a rest.

Yesterday Kris and Bob got me down here in time for our 1pm orientation, and by mid-afternoon cousins Mike and Mary had joined us for a visit. Since it was their anniversary,Kris and Bob went off on their own for dinner while Mike and Mary stayed for the send-off banquet.

Our cook for this trip is a young thing who has never done this before, but dinner tonight was great. Salad, enchiladas, guacamole,  rice,strawberry shortcake. It's a mystery to me how she can do all of that on the two-burner stove in the back of the trailer, and in 85 F heat and 80% humidity, no less.
One place with no condos
