We had our own Easter parade this morning...

Bill and I decided to take an early morning ride to the beach and, having brought my wallet along, I suggested that we go to Mulligan's.  Here are some pictures of our time there:

 The beach was sparsely inhabited today.  In the picture above, you can see an area designated showing the location of a sea turtle nest.

Here is the breakfast menu at Mulligan's - the other side has drinks and extras.  There is very little on the menu under $9.95.


 I had the Casino sandwich - scrambled eggs, ham and your choice of cheese on what the menu said was toasted ciabatta bread.  It wasn't toasted.  It came with home fries which were not the usual greasy diner kind.  Nice.  It was a big portion that really could have fed two people easily.  I didn't finish the second half of the sandwich.  It listed for $9.95.
 It was pretty busy there while we were there - at about 9:30 to 10 a.m.  This Happy Easter flyer appeared with the bill.  Our server didn't tell us about any Easter specials before we ordered.
 Here is our bill.  Bill chose just to have coffee and water.  A party of four could easily spend over $60 plus tip for breakfast.
These signs appear along the bikeway/drop-off lane.  Part of the unintended consequences of poor site planning.

 This is me along with my trusty steed.  It's a vintage 1985 Miyata 110 with the largest frame they had at the time.  I also have a Marin Sausalito, circa 2005, that is more of a hybrid/commuter bike.  The bike I rode to the beach today experienced a bit of a resurrection this year - good term to use on Easter (all about SEO.)  It had been hanging unused in my garage for sometime, collecting oddles of dust and such.  Well, I decided to take it down and take it to Relentless Bicycles on Lucerne and they fixed it up for about $100.  Now I use it more than the other one.  It's faster and fits "just right."  Here is a page from the 1985 Miyata catalogue that I discovered on the Internet showing this particular model.
 And speaking of bikes, our lovely Lake Worth resident and friend AnnaMaria Windisch-Hunt had her bike stolen last night.  It was stored in her van and someone broke in.  It is a pretty distinctive bike (below) and she describes it as a " Schwinn Jaguar Silver and Blue 10 spd. still has xmas lights on front tires, silver foil on back and rotating LED lights attached on back for safety."  She has notified PBSO so please be on the look-out too.  Many people know that AnnaMaria is the chief organizer of our Thursday night twilight bike rides.
