Lingering

Ron and I are dedicated to making the most of our last week on St. Simons without blowing the budget or our energy bank.  Once again, I was up early this morning (6:15) to begin the day with a sunrise at Gould's Point.  Gould's is probably my favorite place on the island.  The tide was high at sunrise and the variation in the landscape at Gould's is just amazing.  We enjoy the changes so much!

In fact, yesterday we found a little hidden spot within the dunes to just lie and enjoy the warmth of the sun and the sounds of nature.

We have noticed a group of three young ladies who like to come down to the beach at sunrise to practice their yoga.  Ron managed to capture one of them up on the boardwalk railing balancing and doing her stretches.  Ah youth!

After sunrise, we headed back to the condo and decided to walk down to the village by way of Neptune Park and the Pier.  At 7 a.m. all was quiet with just a scattering of people meandering about.  Our ultimate destination was Del Sur Bakery and Market.  This place doesn't look like much from the road, which makes it all the more surprising when you walk inside to see the lovely seating and beautiful artwork of local artists lining the walls.

                 Yummy treats await you, along with their delicious coffee.  Make mine a vanilla latte, please! Breakfast for two, $10. including the sunshine.  Not bad!

The owners of this lovely establishment are from Argentina.  They opened their first restaurant in Miami when they came to America.  They discovered St. Simons on their way back to Miami during a trip to Savannah.  They decided that they loved SSI so much that they would open a restaurant and bakery here on the island where they knew they had found a place to raise their family as well.  We sat outside in the sun enjoying our continental breakfast feeling very blessed and looking forward to spending time lounging on the beach later this afternoon.

Peace and love to all!
