Ah yes, back to my earlier promise. After returning to the safe haven of the Stephen Taber, I donned my swim suit and plunged into the frigid 50° water.

They didn't like what was happening in our fast paced world and decided they would offer an alternative, a place where people could slow down, savor, meet their neighbors and enjoy some delicious, healthy food choices. It's unlike any other place I've visited and I've got a hunch their concept is going to catch on.
The first morning I dined on grilled pineapple followed by French Toast stuffed (yes, stuffed) with strawberry cheesecake. A stuffed yours truly put on his walking shoes once more and strolled back downtown.
