West Palm Beach, Thursday Jan 17.
Shortly after breakfast C and I went
over to the north bridge from Lake Worth
to Palm Beach, and finally examined the
front floor of the great Breakers Hotel (from
millions to build). Built in 1926-8. Then we
went south and finally along the lake front. Here
we saw some large homes that were especially
interesting to me because of their many tropical plants.
Flowers were plentiful and we saw no trace
of the December freeze. Returned via the
south concrete bridge and got back the Royal
Palm Hotel at 12.30 P.M. Had lunch at 1.45
and at 4.45 are out for a long walk about
town. West Palm Beach has not much of
interest. The hotel Greater Palm Beach now
last on the island fronting the Atlantic ocean.
After supper out around Tally, then had
a little and retired at 9.30 P.M.
