Wildwood is a beach resort in New Jersey that's very popular with
families due to its huge and free beach and its long boardwalk. The
boardwalk has three or for piers along it with amusements and water
rides and lots of inexpensive restaurants and shops. Wildwood gets
packed during the summer months. During the winter months, Wildwood is
nearly deserted. Many of the shops along the boardwalk close in late
October and open again in April.

Wildwood is located near the southern end of New Jersey just above Cape
May. Wildwood is a popular vacation spot for people all along the east
coast of the United States and Canada. For some reason, Wildwood is very
popular with people from Quebec, Canada. Any time during the summer, you
can find many cars in Wildwood with Quebec license plates on them.

Wildwood is also popular with high school kids during the summer. There
is some sort of agency in Europe who arranges for European teenagers to
come to Wildwood to work (and have fun) during the summer months. Many
of the service workers at hotels, stores, and restaurants are kids from
Europe. The girl who waited on me at the restaurant where I ate that
breakfast was from somewhere in Eastern Europe. She had a thick accent.
The guy who served my buddy and me that pizza was from England, if I
remember correctly.

Breakfast is a very popular meal to eat out there in Wildwood. Many of
the hotel rooms have small kitchens, but there are several restaurants
there that are open only during the mornings to serve breakfast. For
some reason, pancakes in some of the Wildwood restaurants are lighter
and more fluffy than anywhere else I have tried. I like to eat two or
three pancakes for breakfast when I am there, then rent a bike and ride
it for an hour or two. Bike riding is permitted on the boardwalk each
morning until 11:00am. You can typically rent a bike for $5 an hour. I
usually ride the five miles or so length of the boardwalk, then keep
going for another mile or two further in each direction, depending on
how much stamina and time I have and how hot the weather is. Biking is a
great way to burn off the fattening breakfast.

On the day I ate that breakfast, I got a late start so I biked only for
one hour. The following day, I biked longer.
