We're celebrating summer in NSB and May 27th, is National Sunscreen Day! We can’t talk about summer without mentioning Sunscreen. I moved to Florida 30 years ago from a small island in the Pacific Northwest, where you don’t tan - you rust. I learned quickly to respect the Florida sun. My first day at the beach was followed by a week of pain and I swore to never get burned again. Last summer's sunscreen should be discarded and it’s time to start off fresh. The sun in New Smyrna Beach is intense!  I wear SPF 50 every day during the summer, I still have a golden glow and healthy skin too!

Surfing through my photos, and deleting a lot of them to free the space on the server, I ran into this photo, taken in our neighbor city to the south – New Smyrna Beach. I have always wondered how on earth could there be such a difference between Daytona and New Smyrna Beach. If you judge by the looks, Daytona is more impressive with more highrises, more city-like look and feel. Daytona is a bigger place. And you would expect much more outdoor life in Daytona than in New Smyrna Beach. I am not sure about it. Of course, when Daytona is packed for the events like Bikeweek, or for races, there is hardly a place to hide here. New Smyrna is not a big party place, at least not to the extent Daytona is. New Smyrna Beach used to praise itself for not having bikers, but this is now history. Bike... 06/12/2014

I Will Never Pay Full Price… I have known this guy for 5-6 years. He is a retired college professor. He and his wife have bought a unit in condo-hotel and live there since then. Sufficient to say that I do not know of anyone in Daytona area, who has money and lives in the condo-hotel.
