XIIth: I also stay at the Palms and like to get out early to exercise. Going south along the beach, it's about 3 miles to Victoria House and back. Going north to the cut and then through town and back is also about 3 miles. I enjoy the northern route because it gives me an opportunity to watch the town come alive--the people going to work, the children going to school (during the season), and the families getting their days going. Then top off the workout with a stop at Ruby's for cinnamon buns--more calories than I burn shocked but worth the treat. Hope you enjoy your stay. By the way, I get out about 7:00 to beat the heat. And yes, Law, I certainly don't make my quota of imbibing! Can't have everything but I do love San Pedro. Sam
