We had a lovely day in Atlantic City. We started our morning
with a bike ride along the sculpture trail.
This is a 1.1 mile long trail that is lined with sculptures and really nice
landscaping. It is about 1 mile to get
to it, so we rode about 5 miles today. It is really nice and lots of people
enjoy walking it.
After our bike ride and a little viewing of the sculptures,
the marsh and the most productive wind turbine farm in the US, we made our way
back to the boat and had a short visit with some other loopers.
After lunch we hopped on a Jitney and went to the famous
Boardwalk. Turns out it's not all gone! The section I took a picture of
yesterday was damaged by Hurricane Sandy, but the section behind all the hotels
an Casino's on the other side of town is still in great condition. So the
Jitney is a little bus (15 passengers) that runs between the Casino's on the
marina side and the Casinos on the Boardwalk side.
We got off at the Taj Mahal, very opulent. We
walked through the casino and right out the back to the board walk.
They entire
area is lined by the beach. I'm guessing
we have been in the heat a little too long because we felt it was too cold to
go to the beach but these people did not! Not however that they are basically
the only people who thought it was warm enough!
So after walking for a few hours, we hoped the Jitney again
and back to the boat we went. We will be leaving early tomorrow am. Probably
around 5:30 or 6am so I better end this and make my way to the hot tub for a
relaxing soak before going to bed.
