Southampton (1st Rest Day)

Day 18

Yesterday we did what vacationers would say - absolutely nothing.  And it felt great! Although we got up earlier, we were tired.  The three previous days of riding - total 165 miles, wiped us out.  We started our day at the Sip and Soda.  A terrific little diner that serves a great breakfast.  We then tooled around town, in and out of shops, and drank coffee and water.  I was still dehydrated from the riding and Steve wanted more coffee, iced coffee or otherwise.

Southampton is an interesting location.  A perfect place for a junket weekend; a bit pretentious, but enjoyable, so many shops and restaurants that nothing is really missed. It even has a bike shop, so not so bad!  It is a place where the rich and famous frequent.   We saw Jessica Sarah Parker strolling around and Daniel Baldwin. We had just missed Fabio showing off his new Lamborghini said Thomas, the innkeeper at the motel. After a few hours of this, we decided to retreat back to the motel about a 1/2 mile away from the center of town.  For those who might visit Southampton, we would definitely recommend this motel - the Southampton Villiage Motel; it is one of the nicest places we have stayed so far and the most expensive, but everything in Southampton is expensive. The motel was recently renovated 6 week earlier; it has a comfortable bed, built-in cabinets and is pristine! Just a perfect place to stay!

We read books, worked on cross-word puzzles, and napped for the rest of the day.  We did manage to get out for a fabulous dinner the European style - at about 10:00p.

I am outside in the yard area of the motel now drinking coffee and writing this blog as Steve sleeps a couple more hours.  Today we plan to head to the beach; it looks like another beautiful, sunny day in the Hampton!
