Rehoboth Beach 4-11

Woke up to rain and bagged breakfast (skipped the Waffle House across the street) so a slow start out of our hotel, on our way to Delaware Beaches area.  Definitely spring here, with trees flowering and green grass.  Got to Cape Henlopen late morning, with the rain gone, fog lifting and biked around the state park, which got built after WWII era Fort Miles .  Nice trail along gordon pond, through salt marshes/pine forests.  Went to Lewes (est 1638) to look at the flowers, and good Italian sandwiches from Big Ray. Then onto Rehoboth and the brighton suites hotel.  After some reading/nap on the beach, cycled down route 1 on the straightest, flatest road I've ever been on into Delaware seashore state park as far as Indian river / Burton island. Cool estuary and think we heard the Cicadas as they emerge, on the way back.  Dinner on the boardwalk. 32 flat miles.
