Monday began by observing that our ship had come in ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230709 and the views through the window suggested it would be a lovely day ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230710 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230711 as coffee brewed ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230712 Steven read the yellow pages for a car rental ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230713 as toast was ready ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230714 an egg was cooking ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230715 to accompany juice ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230716 and Peter wished us a good walk. ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230717

We began by passing the other barking dog next door ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230718 and then passed the botanical garden ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230719 and the Alamo ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230720 before hitting the private property sign ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230721 that protected this tower of visibility ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230722 and the private road below ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230723 as we made our way away ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230724 and down the neighboring road ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230725 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230726 to lot 88 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230727 and then began to get wonderful views ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230728 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230729 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230730 before we stopped to visit this woman who is married to Tony in the class of 53 (Princeton). She posed with Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230731 and then Suzanne and I posed ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230732 before walking on being reassured by the neighborhood crime watch ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230733 as we looked at the big house on the hill ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230734 and walked past Rosebud which seems to be the house owned by the owners of H2O ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230735 before we found the path ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230736 that led me to the shoe tree ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230737 and the beach ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230738 with Suzanne following. ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230739 As I was gathering shells for my sea necklace ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230740 the Justs and Kramers appeared to our surprise ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230741 and as they explored ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230742 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230743 and observed scenes ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230744 and Steven and Sara settled ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230745 as Peter described the one that got away ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230746 as Suzanne collected sea glass ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230747 an activity Seva attempted to explain to the Justs ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230748 even as Peter took these photos of me ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230749 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230750 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230751 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230752 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230753 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230754 before I captured the water ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230755 and the approaching crowd (large for this beach ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230756 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230757 and the serene views of a beautiful beach. ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230758 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230759 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230760 No trip to Limestone Beach would be complete with photos by the Shoe Tree so the Justs went first ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230761 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230762 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230763 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230764 followed by the Kramers ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230765 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230766 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230767 and Suzanne and me. ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230768 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230769 Once back on the road, we boarded the golf cart ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230770 and followed this road home ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230771 so that I could admire my necklaces ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230772 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230773 even as I struggled to get a picture of this precious piece of sea glass ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230774 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230775 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230776 as part of the collection ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230777 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230778 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230779 and finally got a good photo ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230780 which freed me to enjoy various views from the house (in the hopes of finishing off the battery) ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230781 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230782 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230783 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230784 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230785 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230786 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230787 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230788 before it was back to the sea glass collection ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230789 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230790 and the group in the kitchen ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230791 away from the key limes ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230792 as sandwiches were made ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230793 and Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230794 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230795 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230796 and I ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230797 finished admiring the different views in the house ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230798 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230799 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230800 before we boarded the truck ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230801 and went to the beach to have a drink ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230802 and a sandwich ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230803 and check out the pirate boat ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230804 though it was still safe for Suzanne and Seva to float ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230805 before Suzanne returned to shore ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230806 and we headed home so that the relevant members of our group could go on the junior league housing tour offered by Chuck Gidley ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230807 while these drinks were created by Seva ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230808 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230809 allowing me to read the poem that had been written by the gang of 4 about their journey to Limestone Beach. ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230810 On their return, Suzanne had a drink ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230811 as Peter ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230812 heard Steven out about the houses he'd seen ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230813 while Seva ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230814 Sara ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230815 and I listened ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230816 though our ship seemed to be going out. ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230817 It was at this point that Suzanne was talking to Ben via cell phone ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230818 which was illuminated ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230819 as Peter ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230820 Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230821 and I ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230822 left photos too dark ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230823 and too bright ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230824 for omelet ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230825 and buttered toast ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230826 with mini-tabasco sauce ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230827 before coffee and trimmings were created and served ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230828 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230829 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230830 and this sequence of photos of me in the hot tub were produced as a fitting end to the day. ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230831 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230832 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230833
