Good morning everyone.  Today isn't quite what we had expected from Florida.  Driving down I-95 we went under clouds of smoke a bit before they temporarily closed the road.  There have been some brush fires towards the west that have threatened homes and have caused evacuations.  Also tomorrow there is a chance of freezing temps in the area.

We found a great little restaurant... Simply Delicious Cafe and Bakery in Cocoa Beach.  They have a wonderful breakfast menu including Stuffed French Toast with homemade bread, various quiches which is their most popular, and Eggs Benedict.  They also have bakery items.  The restaurant is located in a house and is small but the length of the waiting line on a Sunday morning gives you an idea of the quality of the food.  I think I've had my last packet of oatmeal.  The 3 mile walk up the beach to get there...and back won't however take care of the calories.

We spent the day with Kathy and Steve and had a good day taking walks and catching up on family.  The pier is just a short walk up the beach and as you can see, not very busy on a cold day.

A little later on in the afternoon one of 3 cruise ships heads out of Port Canaveral for Caribbean destinations.
