Outer Banks May 2008 days 1 and 2

The Beach!!

It’s beautiful here. The water is freezing and the sand so hot you can’t walk across it barefoot!
We spent several hours at the beach already today. (Yesterday we sat in the gazebo while we waited to check in). We’ve seen lots of ways people use to be on/in the water but today was a new one. There were several surfers, a few people, adults and kids with body boards, a couple of guys with wave boards (they float on the edge of the surf where it’s only a few inches deep, there were a couple ocean kayaks, but then there was a guy standing on a surf board and paddling with what appeared to be a canoe paddle- it seemed to work very well.(click on the picture and you should be able to see him- I saw him headed back after we came up)

They’re working on making the entire beach free wi-fi but so far we can only access from the bedroom or back deck.

We've never been here this time of year- (this is the last week of school here). There are lots of things blooming we've never seen. It's busy but not too packed- there's room in the parking lots, you can get out on the main roads without waiting through 2 or 3 lights. I didn't expect the water to be so cold!

I'm headed back to the beach (possible storms tonight).
