I left Jimmie and Stephen around 8:30 am and headed south. I always have mixed emotions when leaving. Jimmie and I were so close as kids – more like brother and sister. She’s found a gem in Stephen.
It’s official. I love Fernandina Beach. I think I remember my friend Joel telling me he and his extended family used to have family reunions here. I can certainly see why. It’s like a clean, upscale Key West. I will be back!
I checked in around 4:30 pm and met Ron and Lisa, the new owners. Apparently, from the time I made the reservation to showing up, the inn had changed hands. Lisa is a former pharmacist and both were in corporate America and decided they had had enough stress.
This is a lovely place to stay. I highly recommend it. They have a wine social where they serve h’ors d’oeuvres and offer breakfast. The couple are very personable and the rooms are quite nice.

I used TripAdvisor to see what was available to eat locally and decided on España, a tapas bar and restaurant. It was a great choice. I had their traditional shrimp in butter and garlic and their patatas brava (potatoes with spices). This is a great place. The wine selection is good and I chose a Rioja and later ended with a tawny port.
I wish I had more time to explore the town. It has great restaurants like Key West, very interesting architecture and numerous old buildings to add character. Like I wrote, I will be back.
A small correction. I misread the odometer yesterday. I think the trip has been more along the lines of 12, 000 miles rather than the 15,000 I wrote before. In any case, I climbed the equivalent of 4.3 miles (22,481 feet elevation gain) on 69 different hikes. The maximum elevation I reached was 9,271 feet above sea level. My greatest increase in elevation for one hike was the 3000 feet at Guadalupe Peak at Guadalupe Mountains National Park (and yes, it almost killed me). I also had one hike of over 2000 feet and three hikes of over 1000 feet. I feel pretty good about that.
According to my gps in the jeep, it’s a 6 hour drive home. I suspect I’ll need to add an hour to that because of traffic jams of 95. If I leave here around 9:30, that should put me at 2451 around 3:30 pm.
