Top Sail Island (Surf City) - Layover Day ZERO Miles

Hotel is a short block from the beach - pretty sun rise this morning


Surfs up


Good habits die hard - I picked up a plastic star fish and used it to add perspective in some pictures


Saw a couple of jelly fish on the beach


Walked two miles to the local coffee shop - The Daily Grind - coffee with Joyce and Janine - they biked down but it's my no bike day! I had a latte for breakfast.


Surf City housing - mostly built up on stilts - and yes that is a huge pile of carpeting out on the curb and mattresses - dreamy
The homes- some old, some new, lots of rental properties, loads of homes that are scrape off material


Mobile home wrapped in wood


Cleaned my bike, then I gathered up the laundry.  Then walked back to town for lunch - a hamburger.  


On the way back to the hotel I stopped at a small organic grocer where I picked up a some half and half for afternoon coffee and a plain yogurt for later.

I think I've walked 6-7 miles today. 

Dinner - barbecue sandwiches, salad, chips and birthday cake (Sue's BD)

Back to riding tomorrow.
