Sunday, November 9: Leaving Ocean Grove, & Asbury Park

Good day everybody day we woke up at the beach liner and we were both very hungry. I took a quick shower and we headed over to Frank’s stallion restaurant to eat some old-fashioned breakfast. The food, 

the tastiest around. Like everything else the price is gone up, but it was still good. Anyhow, today is windy or and cloudy than yesterday. It’s also a 

little bit cooler. I had pancakes and sausage and Mary got to breakfast special. The sausage links were good. They were recommended by the people sitting next to us. It’s now 12 noon. We’re getting ready to 

leave the restaurant and go back to Ocean Grove and do a little browsing before we drive back to Philadelphia. We left the restaurant and went to a 

place that used to be called the tides hotel that Mary stayed at as a boarding house at one point in the 70s. It’s now called the Saint Laurent. We browsed

inside and we talked to the guy at the office and he said the price is range from 180 to 300 during winter and higher in the summer but it’s actually cheap cheaper than the place. We stayed at at Ocean Grove

and this place is newly renovated as of 2021. It’s a really nice place. Call Mary and I then went to a store called the Emporium in Ocean Grove 

and she got some gloves. We then headed back towards Philadelphia and discovered we’re going to be taken through route one 

through Morrisville and Trenton for some reason instead of 295 but we just followed her on through and then found a pizza place called La Villa and we decided to stop for a pizza slice and a break from 

the pouring rain that we experienced on the first part of this trip. Right now the rain is stopped for the time being we’re about to enter Route 1️⃣ South. Well, we took route 1 to 295 with Link to I 95 S. I figured out why 

we were taking that scenic route because when we crossed the bridge we didn’t pay any toll to cross from Trenton to Morrisville so that’s exactly why to avoid tolls. I figured it out why we’re on I 95. 

It’s now 4:12 PM. The rain is stopped. I’m waiting for Mary to bring down some clothes to return back to my place. I’m gonna pick up a winter coat because it’s supposed to hit in the 30s overnight for the next 

few days starting on Tuesday. Will Mary and I did indeed go back to my place in Melbourne. We spent a couple hours at least going through the piles that were kind of building up in corners of my room of clothes that

I didn’t know what to do with. Figured out which ones to put in shirt, museum, and which ones to bring back to the Dorchester, etc. It was quite a job that we did. we did a pretty good job. It needed to be 

done that’s for absolute certain. It’s hard to believe how many clothes I didn’t want and I didn’t wear at all. I do always say that, but it is true! After that job got done, we drove back to her place and 

brought the clothes back. Some were donated as well. I did order a new hangers

to be delivered at Mary’s place. I then took the car out too the Hertz drop off place at 30th St., Station. I dropped the keys off. It’s so much easier to drop it off the night before then to drive down Chestnut 

Street with the car during morning rush-hour. So glad I finally Started to do that. I think came back to my place. Had a bunch of pasta and then watched us send a Democrats caved into the Republicans and agreed to end the government shut down. There’s going to 


be a whole bunch of static on TikTok and social media. In fact they’re already is. They basically gotta“pinky promise” to vote on ACA subsidies, which 

are Republicans are totally against. Then again it’s easier to be a Republican because you don’t give a fuck about any anybody else except yourself. Must be nice. 🙄🙄

Sunday, November 19: Breakfast in Asbury parkq

This morning we woke up and checked out of the nice little hotel, and 


then wedecided we needed to eat breakfast. Well, that turned into quite the adventure because there’s really
nothing on 

the broad boardwalk to eat breakfast in Ocean Grove or Asbury parkq so we 

just kept walking. We went to one place, but they had a private 

party so we walked down this one street and ran into these guys who are hotrod enthusiast with their Corvettes and their model, a truck, etc. They are really nice we 

talked to them and they talk about when they were cruising in the 50s and 60s or 70s.  They told us about Frank’s deli. So we went to Frank’s deli and had a delicious 

breakfast. It was diner, material food. It was really good. I had my usual

 pancakes with coffee and a little avocado and Mary had a breakfast

 special. It was very good. I had the total feel of a breakfast place really had fun. It’s 1:26 PM which is good because this place closed at 2 o’clock so it’s a total hard-core breakfast

 place. It’s also a deli. We’re not gonna walk a mile and a half back to the hotel where we parked . After you went to the deli, we walked

 back towards the Stone pony and the boardwalk. That was pretty fun. We didn’t decide we should head out earlier so we don’t have to 

drive in the dark. It was a joy. It was a very enjoyable experience. I put up a bunch of Facebook posts and got some pretty good 

reactions I must say, I have to go through all the pictures because I took

 so many and I know the video is gonna be really long. I’m finishing 

this up on Monday at 3:45 PM.  It was truly a fun adventure. 

We’re going to have to take more road trips that’s for damn sure. I think 

I’ll be returning back to old Asbury Park.That hotel was pretty cool and I have the phone number to Doug. I mean I can 

just call the guy and say dude I want to rent a room and I could skip Expedia and all that garbage.Asbury Park. 

Ocean Grove really interesting. It’s owned by the Methodist and they fly a Methodist flag. It’s
 really kind of bizarre place but the real estate 

prices are through the roof like every other short joint in the country. Asbury Park 
as a funky side to it 4 sure! A whole bunch of murals around some of these old buildings like the arcade in the and it’s some kind of weather weatherbeaten 
buildings. I think they’re trying to renovate them but I’m not sure. We walked about 2 1/2 miles 
walking around for breakfast. We then decided e

to leave before sunset and get hung out at her house and relaxed. It’s a fun trip really enjoyed it. Now comes the holiday season which will officially start Wednesday night free 

drinkers out there that’s a big drinking night the night before Thanksgiving. I just thought I’d let you know about that..
