February 25 and 26, 2003, turned out to be partially overcast and rainy at times, which was OK, because we really were not planning on sitting on the beach and working on our winter tans. After all, we're not visiting from Wisconsin.

We stayed in a hotel room on Crystal Pier with great views up and down the beach and over the pier to the ocean. We walked to restaurants, bars and shops and, in general, had a relaxing and decadent time.

These are views from our "deck" adjoining our room. The room was more like a one-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen, dining area, living room and bedroom.

From left to right: View looking north from our deck, looking south from our deck and looking sort of north at Lorri and our deck.

Notice the surfers in the sunset. That's me sitting by the window. It was probably raining at that point.

Here are my feet and a view out the front to our deck and the pouring rain.
