Time to Relax?
Although I was awoken at 6:37am by the fire house alarm (I hope the fire they went to was not serious!), today was day one to relax.

It feels good to be out of the city and to smell the salt on the air.

I started the day by putting tomrorows lunch on the stove. It's a spiced chicken dish that's served in a wrap, cold. I'll post the recipe tomorrow. Thankfully Allegra had some chicken in the freezer. The chicken I'd brought was SPOILED when I opened it! I JUST BOUGHT IT YESTERDAY! There's no way I'm lugging it back to the city though. Blah.

Next task?

Head down the the ferry to meet Dan! Yeah!!! He was able to wrap up all of his school work and come out for the weekend. He certainly could use a weekend away with how hard he's been working in school! Columbia certainly doesn't skimp on the amount of work when they put together their 1-year Master's degrees. Of course he had school work in his bag!

A quick lunch of salads and dips laid out by our hostess (yum!) and we headed to the beach.

Dan was toting his camera too and took some of these photos in the loop below. Some great shots of both Allegra and I having fun and laughs!

He caught me sunbathing and then covered from it's hot rays! Yes, that's me under that hat and towel! Funny! Obviously those of him were taken by me! Thanks Dan for snapping them! (More photos click on his name.)
