Breakfast & Bed - Alan's 'homework' for this trip had started several weeks before. He found this great B&B on the internet, great price...$75/night, 10 minutes to downtown, 1 minute to beach, beautiful room, Kate (the owner, same name as mine!) is a college student who runs the place in the Summer. She made wonderful breakfasts for us as you can see from the next morning picture.
