This overnight stay is my first of five layovers on my way back north. At 1:30, I took a driving and lunch break with a mini-detour off of I-95 at Exit 256 in Port Orange. I've got great memories from the past here in the Port Orange area. About five miles further east over the Dunlawton Bridge lies Daytona Beach Shores. A good friend, Mya and family, formerly of Yorktown moved here years ago and I visited them all the years I stayed at the Emerald Shores Hotel in Daytona Beach Shores. I've known her for more than fifteen years. Today, I chanced her being free for lunch and she was. Taking time off from work (her lunch hour) she, Mark and son, Zane, treated me to lunch at The Half Wall, a restaurant and craft beer bar. With more driving ahead of me I had to pass on trying some of the 108 selections. It was very near the same time last year that I passed through to see them. If you weren't part of the readership at that time, click on the link of My last visit here. It about my trip southward and guaranteed to be more interesting and exciting than this overnight stay...because this all I'm writing. By the way, if you take me up on clicking on the link, when you get to the bottom, click on NEWER POSTS and continue with my stay in Port Orange. Meanwhile my next blog will describe my visit with another long time friend(s), Roger and Wendy. See you South Carolina.. |

| Zane's Bacon Burger. And... he ate all his broccoli. Good boy!! |
As soon as I saw Zane's burger, I thought of my favorite food meme.
