We spent last night at Horseneck State beach campground. It was a comfortable campground with good facilities. The sites are well spaced but lacking ground cover, they appear close together. The beach was covered with cobble size stones that made walking along the shore impossible.
We are visiting Christine and Philip today. Christine is one of a group of friends that hung out at commons during my years at college. Earlier in this trip, we visited Tomas and Joey, two other members of that gang.
We arrive at Christine and Phillip’s house just before 1pm and had lunch that included fresh salad greens picked from Phillip’s garden. After a tour of the area, we spend an hour relaxing on the beach near their house.
Before returning home, Phillip stopped at a local farm and picked rhubarb for a tart he planned to make after dinner.
We had a nice dinner at the Back Eddy restaurant. The place was packed even for a Saturday Night. The time waiting for our table passed quickly on the dock behind the building that we shared with about 50 others that were enjoying a nice evening out. I had scallops and Mary had the grilled salmon. Both dishes were prepared perfectly.
Back at home, Phillip baked his rhubarb-blueberry tart while we all sat outside enjoying an evening of conversation around a fire while watching the fireflies dance in the trees. The tart was as fantastic as was this day.
