17 Feb Jupitor Beach
Left early due to predicted increase in temp. ,as well as the change in
barometric pressue downward (yes, of course I have a barometer with me –
been civilized for a while).
The early am ride was fantastic along the Indian river, the over multiple
bridges with excellent bike lane, then a shoulder and then an enclosed
pedestian way. Nice to go uphill from time to time. Overpasses, accord a
nice view without worry from traffic.
Winding through the coastal, both river and ocean, communities one sees many
joggers and of course walkers. Walking in the am seems to be the done
thing.
And,of course the joggers. My favorite was ayoung woman, blond, svelte,
flowing pony tail, ipod-ed, pushing a baby carriage up over the causeway.
Did not have to race her as she way going the other way.
It is rather nice not knowing where I will end up at day's end. Ride,
enjoy, and when butt hurts or an area looks interesting (after sufficient
pedal rotations) find a place to stay.
The early afternoon took me along beach rd./rt 707 a very narrow, suspect
quite expensive estates, barrier island between Hobe Sound and Jupitor
Beach. For a much better view of the landscaping suggest you try Google
Earth.
Hotel recommended the pictured turtle rescue facility. About 70% are
eventually returned to the sea.
Dinner at the very French and very pretensious (they spoke in French and
then translated) Cafe des Artistes. Right next to those boats.
Excellent salade and then moule frites; properly done. (Are the moules
fresh?, "Naturellement monsiour") From where? "Flown in daily from Prince
Edwards Island"
