Wed. morning (and by now lunch)

Wed. morning.
Up early to try to get some sunrise shots. Took a long walk. Out to White St. then down Flager to First First leads across Rt.1 and down to the water front. Walking along the public piers you have to be amazed by the house boats. These are real houses floating on the water. Don't believe me look at the photos. Anyway. Stopped at the Paradise Cafe for con leche (Cuban coffee with milk and sugar). Great sidewalk sitting spot. Watch a couple eating breakfast feed a chicken and chicks that were patrolling the deck. Back along Caroline St. to Duval then back to the hotel. Stopped and got a con leche at the Cuban Cafe around the corner.
This is a really neat little walk up grille. There are tables on deck in front. Order and eat or take it out. Breakfast is egg sandwiches on cuban bread w/ ham or bacon. Lunch is cuban sandwiches and pork or chicken plates with rice and beans. Lots of choices all very good.
We ate here several times last year and I got my con leche here every morning. When I was getting ready to come down I was corresponding with a women who is on the board of the Outer Banks Community Development Corp. (CDC). Maria is Cuban born and lived in Fl. before moving to Nags Head. She was on vacation in Clearwater and had just left the keys. When I asked her for suggestsion for good cuban food in KW guess where she sent me. Yeah, the little cuban cafe next to the hotel. Small world.
Downloading photos takes a lot of time when you are doing simultaneous back up to DVD, so we went to the pool while Lightroom did its thing. Then we had Carole's left over chicken picata for lunch. WOW was that good. Now its time to work on photos then when the storm is over (did I mention we are about to have a massive thunderstorm) I will go to the pool, get on line and upload the photos and the blog.
Nap nap and read this afternoon, maybe rent bikes later and go find Carole a book. We'll see.
Made Valentine's dinner reservations at the beach front cafe. They are offering a prix fixe meal that looks really good. Got Carole a card yesterday at CVS. Need to see what else I can find. Saw a great gallery with painted tiles this morning maybe I will stop there.
