Lunch Anyone?

Here is a photo of The Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, FL.

We started off the day searching for a mailbox or post office. At times, living on the road is challenging, like trying to find a mail box. When did they disappear? They used to be on the corner of the block but try as we might, we couldn't find any. However, we may be in a rural area although there seemed to be lots of houses around. We laughed when we asked a security guard at a shopping center where a mailbox might be and he directed us to the mail lock boxes for the shopping center tenants. Finally, a valet at a restaurant told us where to find the actual post office building and we were good to go.

Once we posted our mail, we were off to Palm Beach Gardens via the Florida Turnpike. Our first stop was the John D. MacArthur Beach State Park. We toured the Nature Center and walked the board walk to the beach. Then we continued our drive on A1A through West Palm Beach and onto Palm Beach. Again, we saw one mansion after another.

We spotted a beautiful large building ahead of us and there it was, The Breakers Hotel. Since it was lunch time, Mel pulled in. We are so nervy in Hawaiin shirt and shorts to just walk in and ask where the restaurant is located. They didn't blink and directed us to The Seafood Bar. We spent the next two hours dining at a table overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. We topped off our delicious lunch with Chocolate Mousse Bananas Foster. Yummy!

What a place! We had seen it featured on the Travel channel but hadn't paid attention to where it was, so to stumble across it on our drive just tickled us. Mel never lets me down for fun adventures. So we will fast for the next two days to make up for our food budget, but it was worth it and made the day quite special.

From The Breakers, we continued south on A1A, passing through Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Pompano Beach and then returning to Fort Lauderdale. It was quite a long drive without stopping so we were quite stiff by the time we returned to the RV, just in time to watch Olympic coverage. However, now Mel is watching the NHRA Winter Nationals, giving me plenty of peace to write this.
