May 5, 2020 – Finally, an almost normal day, enjoying some local sights, restaurants, and stores. A nice long bike ride, a walk on the beach.
We had decided on a two-night stop here, for Chantale’s birthday, and it turned out to be a really great day. Sunny and breezy, we took advantage of the many bike trails to ride up to Driftwood Beach, and the historical area where the rich and famous once summered.
