Elvis hits the beach, gets a handful of sand

Elvis biked Brooklyn from tip to tip (thank you Janette, and your DOT bike lanes), on Sunday, to arrive at Fort Tilden and the Gateway National Recreation Area. The beach is largely car-free (seasonal permit required), which keeps crowds down, and potential for waterfront real estate–with a little elbow room included–way up. The beach day involved waves, whittling, and rescuing a fire-red boogie board from the sagebrushed dunes. Surf’s up…. and stayed that way right until Monday morning, when Elvis was reminded that weekends are only two days long, but Mondays are forever.
