Delray Beach-The First Spring Breakers Arrive!

 

There seemed to be a lot of young people around the beach and Atlantic Avenue this week. It turns out that some of our neighbors to the north had their Spring Break this week.  And so it begins…..

 

Delray Beach

 

This is also Library Lovers’ Month so I hope you will visit your local library and take your children there as well. If you haven’t been in a while (as in when you were in college) you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the changes.  

 

The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in history.

One of the benefits of going early to the beach is not just the sunrise, but watching the many birds as they welcome the day.

 

If you want to get laid, go to college. If want an education, go to the library.

This tree is one of two that stand across the beach.  I have always found their lines to be like a sculpture.

 

Perhaps no place in any community is so totally democratic as the town library. The only entrance requirement is interest.

I must say I find television very educational.  The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a good book.                             Groucho Marx

 

Have a cozy weekend with your favorite book!

Love your photos, Kathy, especially the tree

Seems like Spring Break last for weeks these days. Wild times in your area I bet

I'm ready to visit our remodeled library when it opens in another week - can't wait to see it and spend some time there again.

Kathleen Daniels I couldn't agree more.  You get to see the very special people then as well!!!

Ron and Alexandra Seigel I'd bet your mother loved books and encouraged you in that regard.  When I as in graduate school, we got our own locked cubicle!  Loved it.

My girlfriend is spending the week in Delray Beach and she is really excited about all of the great restaurants and fun things to do in town.  I've shared some of your picks with her Kathy!

Hooray for libraries!  Still one of the great bargains of the Western World!  Now they allow you to reserve books online, and some e-books can even be delivered right to a tablet!   The fines are so low it's embarrassing, so I always add $5.

Hi Kathy - I think I'd hate spring break if I lived there, mainly because I remember my spring breaks in Daytona Beach - that stuff should be quarantined. Nice Zappa quote :)

Joe Pryor Jupiter has grown so much since we moved here!  You should look up Donald Urschalitz next time you're in town. 

Joanna Cohlan how exciting.  I hope she likes it!!!  Make sure she walks along Atlantic Avenue, especially in the evening!!!

Dianne Goode you're a good person!  And yes, I love that you can reserve and renew online. 

Dick Greenberg you know, Ft Lauderdale isn't like it was in "Where the Boys Are"  The city decided to discourage this years ago and I think the Breakers headed to other areas.

Hi, Kathy...does it get really crazy around your area during spring break. I've never done Florida for spring break. 

You always have the greatest pictures to share. I truly enjoy them.

oh well, at least it is only for a few weeks unless they like it here enough to move to Deray!

It must be warmer at the beach than it is at my house if it's spring break. LOL  I have Donald out bringing in wood to build us a fire.  It's in the 50s, but high humidity and the dampness is making me cold.  Enjoy your sunshine.

Top of the morning Kathy.  I am sure most of the Spring Breakers will be making a point of visiting the local library.      What a fantastic quote to share.  Eye opener to the importance of education / learning.  Mark

Hi Kathy, my son just told me his friends are going to Florida for spring break, bu he's not interested in going cause everyone would be drinking, and since he doesn't...he'd rather no be designated driver for the entire trip. Now If I told him he could hang out in the library, he'd think I'm crazy! LOL

Kathy,

Nice shout out for libraries and finding ways to spend quality time alone! You always present a fresh idea to ponder and think about.
