Coffee on the beach again this morning. Oh yes, it is going to suck mightily to go back to the real world.
Note to
Totally forgot to find a thermos or travel mug when I was out & about yesterday. Really need to get something, though, given my predilection for sloshing coffee everywhere when it’s in a real cup. Went out today and found a place that had them in the window, but they closed at 3PM and I was a bit too late. Also saw something there you don’t see too often and that is police line tape. But it was also just around a sign that had fallen off the overhang of the coffee shop…
Found an ad for Whalebone surf shop last night - looks like they just moved farther down the bypass. *whew* Vitamin Sea apparently is still around, and I consider them to be the best surf shop here. There will be a day of just me hitting all my shops… :)
Hit Jolly Roger’s for dinner last night - still the best Crab Imperial ever.
I think tomorrow I am going to head over to Manteo and the Elizabethan Gardens. It’s very cool - formal English gardens that were built in the 50’s by the Garden Club of NC as a memorial to the first settlers here. They’re incredibly beautiful. Oh, yeah, and the brewery being right there doesn’t exactly hurt either.
Please, PLEASE remind me again that I shouldn’t be plotting how to buy property down here. It’s bad that I am suddenly finding inspiration to get my place sold, LOL.
3 hours on the beach today - sadly, my sunscreen didn’t quite cut it and my legs are somewhat pink. (Sunscreen: SPF 30 Sweatproof, check, Waterproof, check, Towelproof from sitting, not so much.) Now have spray on Solarcaine to also help offset the flying critters that also decided to snack on me today. Good waves, though, lots of surfers out, can’t exactly shoot the curl, but any wave you can stand on is better than none. Been threatening to go get a board, little bro says it would be too dangerous — to the other people in the water…
I think NAS Oceana must be doing some exercises today - have seen three jets over the beach today - very cool.
