Day Thirteen - Disengaging/ Re-engaging

Morning: early breakfast, latté on the beach with my feet buried in sand, long walk, bike-ride fact-finding mission, last series of photographs, picked up today's windowsill rock.

Midday: quick lunch, lots of writing, an attempt at sunning with Shelby but then the clouds arrived for awhile, so instead a short and sweet nap.

Afternoon: Campari-soda on the porch with Krystof, kitchen conversation with Adrienne, the Yes We Are Normal check-in with Jo, another bicycle ride along the boardwalk.

Evening: dinner and wine with David, slow trip from ferry dock to lodge, shoving things into my knapsack and pretending that come morning, I'm not heading home.

Night: full moon with bonfire on the beach, and a reminder that even when toasted, marshmallows remain the nastiest confection ever invented.
