The Beach

Hank and Charlie are doing the tennis thing.

I walked down to the beach (about half a block). Being a water person, I could never understand the California beach scene. What was the attraction of a beach when you would freeze in the ocean?

Now I get it. There are some people in the ocean - surfers with wet suits - but there are also people jogging, riding bikes, walking dogs, meditating, practicing yoga and just generally hanging out.

Beaches are a thing of their own. It's not necessary to get wet to enjoy them

Sunday was a marathon drive day. I have to say that driving in South Carolina is worse than driving in Boston. They drive crazily in Boston, but they aren't stupid. All the stupid drivers are in South Carolina. Grrrrr.

We checked in to the Castillo Real in St. Augustine Beach about dinner time. We met up with Charlie and took off to seafood restaurant but it was closed on Sundays. ended up at the very nice Sunset Grille which is just down he road. Got back in time to see the underdog Giants beat the Pats in the superbowl.

Monday morning Hank and Charlie went to play tennis whilst I had a bit of a sleep in and then did the necessary unpacking. It's nice to have ourselves settled in for a week.
