infrogmationA sunny day, papa's okay, and Hollie & I finally got a chance to go to Jacksonville Beach for a couple of hours.
Yay!!
The sea was angry-- some surfers taking advantage of it. The waves were much foamyer than either of us had ever seen them-- and I've lived by and near the ocean before. It was like a convoy of tankers carrying extra sudsy detergent had sunk offshore. I presume it's something to do with Hurricane Ophelia. Either way, big gobs of foam on all the waves, and blowing around on the beach like tumbleweeds.
The grey sand beach was nice, however.
Afterwards, H & I ate at a Brazilian Restaurant.
This was the first time either of us had eaten Brazilian. Apparently it's fairly authentic, as Jacksonville seems to have a good sized Brazilian community, and everyone else there was speaking Portuguese. I had a yummy blackbeans & rice dish with powdered yucca and nicely seasoned collard greens. Hollie had a type of chicken & beef shish-kabob type dish.
Very nice being able to relax and recharge our batteries.
