Had
to get the rest of our chores done so we could leave late afternoon.
Got a box from Mom and Dad containing film, newspaper articles from the
Metro West Daily News, and a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies (they
didn’t travel well but were tasty nonetheless). Also got a few letters.
Nice to get mail!
Then it was off to the drug store and supermarket to resupply. There are way too many kinds of food in the supermarket. Everywhere you look, there’s something good to eat! I have been thinking, though, that when we get home I really want to start cooking healthy meals – lots of fruits and veggies, brown rice, couscous, etc. We’ll see if I’m able to stick to it.
Check-out time at the motel was 1, and it was clear we weren’t going to have our act together by then. So we reluctantly decided to stay another night (the rain helped seal the deal). We knew everyone else was planning to take a zero day, but they were all at the hostel a couple of miles away, so we hadn’t talked to them.
Town errands take up so much time that a day off doesn’t feel like a day off. Bought sandwich ingredients so we could make our own lunch – and a box of Krispy Kreme donuts for dessert. I’m not sure if they’re better than Dunkin Donuts, but they sure are good.
No idea what we did the rest of the day, but it went by pretty quick. Blowin’ Sunshine stopped by and asked if we knew anywhere he and his dog Shiggy could crash. We invited them in with us.
