Canaveral

Since I was near the Florida Atlantic coast I decided to do a little sightseeing at the beach before I headed inland for my Monday meetings. I spent a few hours visiting the Canaveral National Seashore, which seems to be intertwined with NASA’s Kennedy Space Center footprint. When I left the hotel it was gray and a bit drizzly, so I thought I might have a short trip with no benefit. It was quite beautiful driving through the swamp/wetlands getting over to the coast. The road ran along grasslands and was next to waterways that some people were fishing in. Getting to the shore, the beach was accessed by a series of parking lots with a bridgework pathway going from the parking lot over a dune to the beach. The wind was up and the sea was fairly active giving rise to some beautiful views. When I first got there, it was still grey and windy, but not uncomfortably cold. Around noon the sky began to clear and turned to a nice blue. I stopped and went to the beach at several of the points of entry. There weren’t many people around so it was a nice place to visit. I managed to take some nice photos and had a nice walk. Ultimately I had to take off and head inland to my ultimate destination.
