Breakfast with Flipper.

Flagler Beach, FL – Dolphins. Really, I could stop right there, having seen several of the muscular mammals leaping in the waves from the balcony this morning. My day could have happily ended with that.

It was, however, also extremely nice to fall asleep and wake to the tune of the ocean’s crescendo drumming against the shore, a cool breeze creeping against my skin. Fresh. Peaceful.

The drive to Daytona Beach this morning was pleasant, if not kitschy. The afternoon, spent burying my toes in the sand, offered therapeutic relaxation. A lone sandpiper pecked at the shore, as a salty dusk descended with a shrug.

But having awoken to dolphins frolicking in the waves, planes preparing for an airshow and pelicans flying in equally tight formations made breakfast, and the day, so much better.

Bliss.
