Juno Beach - Day 8

Sunday the 15th

Whoooa!! Well!! It seems I’m not moving fast enough for Punky this morning. Wickety on the other hand seems perfectly content to just lay here with Tina. Heh, heh, I guess I don’t need to wash my face this morning. Ahhhh, I see now, the sky is a beautiful cerulean blue with nary a cloud to be seen and there are people out with their dogs headed for the dog walk area. Time to get going.

After a lazy morning the temperature was about 74 degrees by 10:30 AM so we decided to go for a bike ride. Mapping out a route we headed off to explore some more of the area. Our route took us through several beautiful residential neighborhoods along the Coastal Inland Waterway. Really nicely maintained with green lawns and palm trees everywhere. A special note, the Intracoastal Waterway is about 3,000 miles long, parallel to the Atlantic coast from Boston, Massachusetts to Key West Florida. It is a combination of natural rivers and manmade canals and provides sheltered passage for commercial and leisure boats.

By noon we were headed towards Jupiter on US 1 when we stopped at a small group of commercial buildings looking for a place to eat lunch. Bingo! There were three places to eat, an Italian Bistro, a Danish Café and a B&R. We decided to eat at the “Café Copenhagen” (http://www.cafecopenhagen.com/). Parking the bikes we were led to an outdoor courtyard where we were seated under a large umbrella next to a small pool with plants everywhere. A young lady was playing a small Yamaha electric piano and singing. She had a clear sweet voice.

We ordered a couple of salads, Tina chose the “Stuffed Avocado with grilled shrimp, fruit, cucumber salad and a fresh baguette while I had the Danish Country Cobb with chicken, bacon, egg salad, cucumber salad with blue cheese crumbles. We both had iced green tea with honey garnished with an orange slice. Absolutely scrumptious!!! While we were eating the owner and chef, Christian Cotton, stopped by for a chat. What a wonderful lunch.

Leaving the Café, we continued north on US 1 then cut through another residential area towards the Atlantic and A1A. While on A1A we watched the kite surfers and regular surfers enjoying the waves. Continuing south we eventually returned to the coach and spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing.
